Instructions

1 Press tofu and pat dry with paper towels or a clean dish towel. Cut into
rectangles, squares, cubes, or triangles.
2 Measure out 3 tablespoons of cornstarch into a small bowl. Lay out the tofu on a
plate (cubes can be tossed in a bowl). Sprinkle half of the cornstarch over the
tofu evenly, then flip and add the remaining cornstarch to coat the tofu.
3 Warm oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Lay the tofu into the pan and
fry (without moving the tofu!!) for 5 minutes. Flip and fry for 5 more minutes,
again being careful not to touch the tofu.
4 While the tofu is frying, mix together the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch,
tamari, water, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sriracha, toasted sesame oil, and red
pepper flakes in a small bowl. Peel and mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic
press and add to the sauce. Mince or grate the peeled ginger. Add to the sauce
and mix.
5 Turn off the heat on the stove. Pour the mixture over top of the tofu, then
quickly flip the pieces so both sides are coated.
6 Remove from the pan and season generously with sesame seeds. Serve immediately!
