Instructions
- 1
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 2
In a large bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
~2 min - 3
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
While the tofu is frying, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger in a small bowl.
~2 min - 5
Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the pan and drain any excess oil on a paper towel.
~1 min - 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.
~3 min - 7
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.
