Honey-Glazed Crispy Tofu Bites

Instructions

1. 1

   Press the tofu to remove excess water. You can do this by wrapping it in paper towels and placing a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.

   ~15 min
2. 2

   Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Place the tofu cubes in a medium bowl and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.

   ~5 min
3. 3

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder for the glaze.

   ~2 min
4. 4

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cornstarch-coated tofu cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

   ~10 min
5. 5

   Drain the excess oil from the tofu by transferring it to a plate lined with paper towels.

   ~1 min
6. 6

   Return the crispy tofu to the now-empty frying pan (off the heat). Pour the prepared glaze over the tofu and toss gently until each piece is well coated. The residual heat will thicken the glaze.

   ~2 min
7. 7

   Transfer the glazed tofu to a serving plate. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions.
