In a bowl, add in the water, salt, garlic powder, soy sauce, and sugar. Give it a good stir to dissolve the seasonings. Then add in the cubed tofu. Let the tofu sit in the brine for at least 2-4 hrs to allow the seasoning to fully get submerged into the tofu. You can also brine it overnight as well. Then drain and let it sit for 15 minutes before coating it in cornstarch. Once coated in cornstarch, let it sit for another 5 minutes before frying it in oil. Heat oil to 375'F and cook for 5-8 minutes or until crispy. Drain and set aside while you cook the vegetables.
Add everything into a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
Add about 2 Tbsp of the frying oil and cook the sliced onions, green onion, garlic and jalapeno on high heat. Let it sit for 1 minute without stirring to get it some good char/flavor. Stir and cook for only 3 minutes. You still want a decent bite to the onions. Turn off heat and add in the fried tofu and the seasoning and mix to coat. Serve with rice or eat as it.
