Description
This crispy honey garlic tofu is a delightful plant-based dish, perfect for serving over rice or alongside steamed vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- to taste green onions (garnish)
- to taste sesame seeds (garnish)
Instructions
- Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar (if using), and sesame oil.
- Reduce heat to medium; add cooked tofu back to the skillet and pour the honey garlic sauce over it. Toss gently to coat the tofu and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds over rice or alongside steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Press tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture for a crispier texture.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more or less honey.
