Quick & Easy Crispy Soy Garlic Tofu

2.0

12.34 oz extra firm tofu (liquids strained out (no pressing required))

3 tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)

½-¾ cup cornstarch (or potato starch, add more if needed)

1 green onion (finely chopped for garnish)

1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 garlic cloves (minced)

1 tbsp regular soy sauce

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian stir fry sauce for a vegan version)

1 tsp Shaoxing Cooking Wine (or dry sherry wine, dry white wine or omit altogether)

1 tsp white granulated sugar

1 tsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar or white vinegar)

½ tbsp cornstarch (or potato starch or tapioca starch)

½ cup water (room temperature)

In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients as listed above and set aside.
Pat dry the tofu with paper towels to remove excess moisture and dice into ¾-inch cubes. Set aside.
Spread cornstarch onto a large plate or baking sheet and generously and gently coat the diced tofu in small batches. Feel free to add more cornstarch if needed. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Fry coated tofu until golden and crispy, about 14-20 mins in total, flipping over halfway. Remove fried tofu from pan and set aside.
Add the sauce into the pan and simmer to thicken.
Toss fried tofu in the thickened sauce until evenly coated. Remove off heat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
