Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz block extra-firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice (optional)
  • For serving: steamed rice, sliced cucumber, sesame seeds, scallions

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Press tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes, and toss with cornstarch, salt, and oil.
  2. Spread on a lined baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk honey, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar. Warm in a skillet until bubbly and thickened.
  4. Add baked tofu to the skillet, toss to coat, and serve immediately over rice with sesame seeds and scallions.

Notes

For best results, press the tofu for at least 15 minutes. If you like more heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. The tofu is crispiest right after tossing, so serve it at once.
