    Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

    ~5 min
  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.

    ~2 min

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the coated tofu in a single layer and fry for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

    ~10 min
  4. 4

    While the tofu is frying, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger in a small bowl.

    ~2 min

    Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the pan and drain any excess oil on a paper towel.

    ~1 min
  6. 6

    Return the tofu to the (now empty) frying pan over low heat. Pour the honey-soy glaze over the tofu and toss gently to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens.

    Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Tips

  • For extra crispy tofu, ensure you press out as much water as possible before coating with cornstarch.
  • These tofu bites are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for best texture.
