Crispy Honey Garlic Tofu: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 block firm tofu
– 1/4 cup cornstarch
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
– 1/2 cup honey
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Crispy Honey Garlic Tofu is an effortless process when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Tofu: Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
2. Coat the Tofu: In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch until evenly coated. This will help achieve the crispy texture.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. You know it’s ready when a small piece of tofu sizzles when added.
4. Fry the Tofu: Add the coated tofu to the skillet. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Prepare the Sauce: While the tofu is frying, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a separate bowl.
6. Add the Sauce: Once the tofu is crispy, pour the sauce over it in the skillet. Toss until the tofu is well-coated and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your crispy tofu hot for the best experience!

These simple steps ensure your Crispy Honey Garlic Tofu will turn out delectable and satisfying every time.
