Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Drain and Press the Tofu – Begin by draining the tofu and pressing it between paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
  2. Cut the Tofu – Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes.
  3. Mix the Coating – In a large bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Coat the Tofu – Add the tofu cubes to the mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
  5. Heat the Oil – Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Fry the Tofu – Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Make the Sauce – In the same skillet, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Heat until it begins to bubble.
  8. Toss in the Tofu – Return the crispy tofu to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until fully coated.
  9. Transfer to a Dish – Remove from heat and transfer the tofu to a serving dish.
  10. Garnish It – Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider double coating it with cornstarch. Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
