Pour cornstarch into a wide shallow dish and toss tofu to coat. Allow tofu to sit in cornstarch while you prepare the sauce. • 2. Combine water and cornstarch. Whisk in the rest of the sauce ingredients. • 3. Heat sauce ingredients to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until sauce reaches desired thickness. (This happens fast so keep an eye on it.) • 4. Heat 1/8 of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and pan-fry until light golden-brown, flipping tofu every few minutes to crisp all sides. Set aside on a paper towel to blot excess oil. (Hold in a 200°F oven to keep crisp if planning to serve later.) • 5. Toss crispy tofu with desired amount of sauce. (You will most likely have extra sauce. This can be saved in an airtight container and used later.) • Note: If you think you'll have leftovers, keep the tofu and sauce separate until you serve it. The tofu can be crisped again in an oven or air-fryer later. • //CONNECT WITH ME: • instagram: @sarahsvegkitchen • tiktok: @sarahsvegkitchen • snapchat: imsarahsullivan • e-mail: [email protected] • Music: • / lakeyinspired
