Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoon green onions
Instructions
- Press the tofu – wrap the tofu in the paper towel and place it on the plate. Place the heavy object on top and let it press out the extra liquid for about 10 minutes. Discard the paper towel and you’re ready to go.
- Cut your pressed tofu into 1 inch cubes by first cutting it in half horizontally, then vertically to create the cubes. In a medium bowl add the tofu cubes and corn starch and gently toss to combine.
- Warm neutral oil over medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet. Add the corn starch coated tofu to the skillet in a single layer and pan-sear until golden brown and crispy. About 5 minutes on both sides.
- In a small bowl make the honey garlic sauce by mixing together the honey, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil.
- Lower the skillet to medium heat and pour the sauce in. Simmer until desired thickness – about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
