Preparation: 30 mins

Cook Time: 30 mins

Yield: 2-3 servings

Ingredients:

1 14 1 (14-oz.) block extra-firm tofu, drained

2 cloves garlic, grated

1 piece " ginger, grated

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha

3 tablespoons toasted sesame oils, divided

2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish

toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions:

Carefully pat the tofu dry: On a cutting board, sandwich tofu between doubled layers of paper towels and press to remove moisture without cracking the block down slowly. Remove paper towels and cut tofu into 32 equal pieces: halve tofu laterally across, cut the block into a 4x4 grid then.

Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk garlic together, ginger, soy sauce, Sriracha, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, vinegar, and sugar until smooth. Set half this mixture and reserve for aside glazing later. Preheat oven to 400°. Meanwhile, add tofu to a bowl and toss gently to coat in the marinade. Let sit 15 minutes, drain off excess marinade then.

In just a little bowl, whisk baking and cornstarch powder together. Sprinkle over tofu and gently toss to coat. Drizzle over the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to coat each piece. Spread tofu out onto a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes evenly. After quarter-hour, decrease oven temperature to 375°. Flip tofu pieces allowing for toasting even, then return the tray to oven and continue to bake until tofu is crispy externally and deeply golden, in regard to a quarter-hour more. Brush with reserved marinade mixture for a glaze finish, sprinkle with green onions, and then sesame.
