Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (400g) firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1/2 cup (60g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) honey
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) grated ginger
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Press and cube the tofu. Start by pressing the tofu for about 30 minutes to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Toss the cubed tofu in cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Fry the coated tofu cubes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  5. Sauté the minced garlic in the same skillet for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Mix the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and grated ginger, then let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Toss the crispy tofu in the skillet to coat it in the sauce.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For optimal texture, consume the tofu fresh and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
