Crispy Honey Garlic Tofu

Delicious crispy tofu coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for a quick meal or meal prep.

  • Total Time: 30
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 grams (14 oz) Firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 4 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
  • 2 Green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu: Remove excess moisture by pressing the tofu between paper towels or a clean kitchen towel for about 15 minutes.
  2. Cut and coat the tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes and toss them in cornstarch until well-coated.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  4. Fry the tofu: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the tofu cubes in a single layer and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Add the sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the fried tofu and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the tofu from heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice or with veggies.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the tofu is well-pressed to remove moisture. Avoid crowding the pan while frying to ensure even cooking.
