calling all vegans help(event is tomorrow)

oh and here's another one a friend sent me, but you should probably double or triple it:

Pineapple Tofu Stir-Fry
Makes 2 servings, 1 1/2 cups each
ACTIVE TIME: 35 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes

1 8-ounce can pineapple chunks or tidbits, 3 tablespoons juice reserved
5 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 teaspoons brown sugar
7 ounces extra-firm, water-packed tofu, drained, rinsed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 large bell pepper, cut into 1/2-by-2-inch strips

1. Whisk the reserved 3 tablespoons pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup and sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Place tofu in a medium bowl; toss with 2 tablespoons of the sauce. Let marinate for 5 minutes. Add cornstarch to the remaining sauce and whisk until smooth.

2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer the tofu to the skillet using a slotted spoon. Whisk any remaining marinade into the bowl of sauce. Cook the tofu, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes total. Transfer the tofu to a plate.

3. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the sauce and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Add the tofu and pineapple chunks (or tidbits) and cook, stirring gently, until heated through, about 2 minutes more.

ahh yes, that would make sense. sorry, i don't know all the kosher laws

depends how kosher they are.

AW, why don't you just bring a salad or maybe some nice fruit and crystallized ginger for dessert?

or just do what I do. buy a tub of kosher hummus at the supermarket and some pita. lazy, yes, but I can't feel guilty.

I suck at cooking. so where can i go buy anything that is vegan kosher :P? thanks hehe.

also i can make stuff. if there is any recipes and where i can get ingredients.

Just curious where this is being held. I am not looking for an invite..lol. I know that a new Chabad House opened in the area.. wondered if that is where the event is happening. Anyway... You should bring something that is packaged and has OU or other certification that it is kosher. Unless you maintain a kosher kitchen, items cooked in your kitchen would not adhere to the standard.
