Description
A delicious and crispy honey garlic tofu dish, perfect for serving over rice or 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, for garnish
- to taste sesame seeds, for 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.

- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds over rice or alongside steamed vegetables.
Notes
- This dish is best served immediately after cooking for optimal crispiness.
