HONEY GARLIC TOFU

Honey garlic tofu is an easy 20 minute weeknight dinner for one. The sweet honey garlic sauce thickens slightly to coat crispy edged tofu bites and it makes for a great sauce over rice and vegetables.

INGREDIENTS

Slice tofu into bite sized pieces, about 1 inch cubes. Or desired thickness.

STEP 1

Place in clean towel, gently press water our of tofu pieces.

STEP 2

Transfer tofu to container, with lid. Add cornstarch, kosher salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Cover with lid, gently shake until tofu is coated in cornstarch.

STEP 3

Once oil is shimmering, place tofu pieces in pan. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Cook at least 2-3 sides of tofu.

STEP 4

While tofu is cooking, prepare sauce. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, sesame oil, and garlic to a small mixing bowl. Whisk together.

STEP 5

Once tofu is cooked, pour sauce into pan. Coat tofu pieces in sauce, cook until thickened to desired thickness. I like it reduced by about ⅓-1/2. Add more water, if needed.

STEP 6

Top with sesame seeds, green onion. Serve over rice. Enjoy immediately.
