Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm tofu drained and pressed
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Ginger Soy Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- 3 Toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch until evenly coated.
- 4 Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- 5 Transfer the tofu to the prepared baking sheet and brush with teriyaki sauce.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the tofu is crispy and the sauce is caramelized.
- 7 While the tofu is baking, prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
- 8 Once the tofu is done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
- 9 Serve the tofu bites warm with the ginger soy dipping sauce on the side.
