6. 6

   In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water to create the sweet and sour sauce.

7. 7

   Pour the sauce into the pan with the vegetables and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens.

8. 8

   Return the tofu to the pan, tossing to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

   Serve the stir-fry over cooked white rice.
