Ingredients 

Crispy Tofu

Honey Butter Sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¾ teaspoon corn starch
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter

Garnishes

Instructions

  • Drain the tofu, pat it very dry with paper towels, then cut into 1 inch cubes.
    1 package extra firm tofu
  • In a large bowl, add tofu, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss tofu gently until evenly coated.
    1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt, Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Spread corn starch on a large plate and coat the tofu pieces individually, a few at a time. Make sure to coat them separately so they don’t stick together and break.
    ½ cup corn starch
  • In a large pan, heat ½ inch layer of neutral oil. Add the tofu in a single layer and fry for 5-6 minutes total, flipping to crisp up all sides. Transfer to a plate once golden.
    Neutral oil
  • In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, water, and corn starch and set aside.
    ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup honey, 4 cloves garlic, ¼ cup water, ¾ tsp corn starch
  • In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the butter, then pour in the sauce mixture. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens up nicely. Turn off the heat, add the crispy tofu, and toss quickly to coat before the sauce sets. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
    3 tbsp unsalted butter, Chopped green onion, Sesame seeds
  • Serve immediately over white rice with your favorite veggies and sides.
