Honey garlic tofu

  • 1/2 block firm or extra firm tofu, pressed
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp chili crisp (optional)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1-2 cups quick cooking vegetables
  • 1 tsp sesame gomasio (optional)

Cut tofu into cubes and toss with cornstarch, salt, and garlic powder. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and dry fry until crispy and lightly browned. While tofu cooks, stir together garlic, ginger, sesame oil, honey, chili crisp, vinegar, soy sauce, water, and cornstarch (whew!). When tofu is cooked, move it to the side of the pan and add veggies, stirring until cooked and/or heated through. Add in the sauce and stir it all together. Remove from heat when sauce starts to thicken slightly. Garnish with gomasio and enjoy!
