Spicy Honey-Glazed Tofu

Step 1

Rinse the tofu block, drain it, and dice it into cubes. Mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and two of water in a bowl, and soak the tofu in the marinade for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat half of the oil in a wok or skillet. Discard the excess marinade and add the marinated tofu cubes to the pan. Cook them over medium-high heat until they're nicely seared and golden on all sides.

Step 3

In a clean pan, sizzle the remaining oil with minced garlic, finely chopped or grated ginger, and thinly sliced red chillies.

Step 4

Then, tip in the soy sauce, honey, and the remaining water. Stir and bring the sauce to a boil, then simmer it for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add in the tofu and stir well to coat evenly with the honey sauce. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce is reduced a glaze and tofu bites are golden brown.

Step 6

Before serving, sprinkle the spicy honey-glazed tofu with roasted sesame seeds and chopped spring onions. Serve it right away with rice or noodles, a side salad, or greens.
