Cut pressed tofu into ~1 inch pieces. In a large bag, add tofu with cornstarch and garlic powder. Shake gently until combined.
In a large pan, heat sesame oil for 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Add tofu in a single layer on pan.
Cook tofu on each side until crispy (takes ~ 10 minutes). It should be golden brown.
In small bowl add all the sticky sauce ingredients and stir until combined. (A fork works best to get rid of cornstarch clumps).
Once tofu is crispy, turn heat down to med-low and add sticky sauce. Stir until it coats the tofu. It will start to thicken up within a minute. Once its thicker, remove pan from the heat immediately.
Serve with basmati rice, broccoli, and/or stir fry veggies. Sprinkle tofu with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. For a little kick add red pepper flakes!
