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

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried tofu and drain on paper towels.
~1 min - 5
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder until well combined.

Add the fried tofu back to the now empty pan (wipe out any excess oil if needed) over low heat. Pour the glaze over the tofu and toss gently to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the tofu.

Tips
- Ensure your tofu is thoroughly pressed to achieve maximum crispiness. You can use a tofu press or wrap it in paper towels and place a heavy object on top for at least 30 minutes.
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for more heat.
