Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Tofu

This is a delicious entree that is best served over freshly cooked rice. The smell this dish creates is so fragrant and you can really smell the different elements of the dish. This is a simple, leave it alone crock pot recipe that you are sure to enjoy.

Ingredients:
-1 lb extra firm tofu, drained
- 4 cups fresh vegetables (I used 2 bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli)
- 1/2 white onion, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon corn starch
- 10 oz jar sweet and sour sauce
- 1/2 Tablespoon water
- 1
Tablespoon butter

Instructions:
1. Cube your tofu, and put it in a zipper bag with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Shake the tofu until it's coated completely in cornstarch.
2. Fry tofu on the stove on medium heat in a tablespoon of butter. Resist the urge to flip the tofu often. Let it get a nice crusty coat before turning.
3. While that's cooking, wash and trim your vegetables and add to the crockpot. When the tofu is done, put it in also. Pour the entire bottle of sweet and sour sauce on top of the tofu and vegetables.
4 Add a 1/2 tablespoon of water to the "empty" jar, and shake. Pour the contents on top. Toss gingerly.
5. Cover and cook on low for about 3 hours.
