Postup

Krok za krokom

1
Gently press the firm tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Približne 5 min
Poznámka kuchára: Pressing the tofu is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
2
In a medium bowl, toss the tofu cubes with the cornstarch until evenly coated.
Približne 2 min
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Približne 1 min
4
Add the coated tofu to the hot skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Poznámka kuchára: Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
5
Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
Približne 15 min
6
While the tofu cooks, prepare the sauce: whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
Približne 3 min
7
In a separate tiny bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Približne 1 min
Poznámka kuchára: This slurry will thicken the sauce.
8
Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
9
Pour the prepared sauce into the hot skillet.
10
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry.
Približne 1 min
11
Cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
Približne 2 min
12
Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and toss gently to coat thoroughly with the sauce.
Približne 1 min
13
Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion, if desired.
