Steps:
- Wrap tofu in 2 to 3 layers of paper towels and place on a plate. Place a second plate on top to encourage fluid out of the tofu. Let sit until paper towels are saturated, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking tray.
- Discard wet paper towels and cube tofu. Place on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven until adequately dry, about 20 minutes.
- While the tofu is baking, drain pineapple chunks, reserving juice.
- Combine coconut milk, liquid aminos, ginger, curry paste, chili powder, curry powder, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Add reserved pineapple juice and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; add to the coconut milk mixture and whisk until slightly thickened.
- Stir in basil and jalapeno; cook for 1 minute. Add bok choy, spinach, green onions, mushrooms, chile peppers, tomatoes, and pineapple chunks; stir to coat. Cook over medium heat until vegetables are crisp tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add tofu and stir to coat. Season with salt. Transfer to a covered dish for 10 minutes to let flavors mix, or serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help it hold its shape during cooking and prevent it from crumbling.
- Press the tofu before cooking. This will remove excess water and help the tofu absorb the flavors of the marinade or sauce.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. This will give it time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Be careful not to overcook the tofu. Overcooked tofu can become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the tofu with your favorite sauce or marinade. Some popular options include teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and peanut sauce.
