Instructions

  1. Prep the Tofu

    Cut tofu into cubes and season with garlic salt.
    Lightly coat the tofu with cornstarch.

  1. Fry the Tofu

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
    Add the tofu and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Optional: Sprinkle with black pepper while frying.
    Once crispy, set the tofu aside.

  1. Cook the Sauce

    In the same pan, add your sauce ingredients and cook over medium-high heat.
    Add a splash of water if you like it more saucy.
    Stir frequently until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  1. Combine Tofu and Sauce

    Once the sauce thickens, toss the crispy tofu back into the pan and mix until fully coated.

  1. Serve

    Serve the tofu over rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
