Ingredients

For the tofu:

  • 1 block (350g) extra-firm tofu drained and pressed (see notes), cubed
  • cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons oil for frying
  • cooked rice for serving

For the sweet & spicy sauce:

Instructions

  • To make the tofu: add the tofu to a medium bowl with the cornstarch. Toss well to coat, and shake off excess.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and fry the tofu cubes until all sides are browned. About 4 minutes each side. Drain tofu on paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
  • To make the Sriracha sauce: in a small saucepan, 1 cup water, soy sauce, sugar, sriracha, agave, and garlic, then bring to a boil. In a small bowl or glass, mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water together. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce and whisk well. Continue to cook another minute or two until the sauce thickens.
  • Toss the sauce with the tofu and serve over a bed of rice.
