Spicy Garlic Crispy Tofu

Step 1

Remove the tofu from the package and drain off the excess liquid.

Cut into 1 inch cubes.

Step 3

Place on a flat serve with a towel on top and place a heavy object on top. Press for 20-30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 5

Toss with the soy sauce/tamari, then the cornstarch and garlic, then the breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Try to keep each piece evenly space to ensure they're all able to get crispy.

Step 7

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients for the sauce in a small pan on the stove.

Step 9

Bring to a low boil, then let simmer, whisking occasionally, until thick.

Step 10

Remove from the heat.

Step 11

Let the tofu cool for a few minutes once it has baked, then toss with the sauce and serve immediately.

I served with jasmine rice, steamed broccoli, avocado and carrots. Enjoy!
