Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Honey Garlic Tofu
- Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap in paper towels and place on a plate with a heavy object on top for 30-60 minutes.
- Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes.
- Coat the tofu cubes in cornstarch, ensuring all sides are covered.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil.
- Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Fry the cornstarch-coated tofu cubes for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Pour the sauce over the crispy tofu in the skillet and gently stir to coat.
- Cook for 1-2 more minutes until heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes
Press well for crispy texture. Coat evenly to avoid sogginess. Monitor oil temperature to prevent soaking.
