Ingredients

450 g firm tofu drained and pressed
1 tablespoon cornflour/cornstarch cornstarch
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

For the honey garlic sauce:

½ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic crushed
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon cornflour/cornstarch cornstarch

To serve:

Cooked rice
Steamed broccoli
Sesame seeds

Instructions

Cut the pressed tofu into small cubes. In a bowl, toss the tofu with cornflour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy on all sides.
In a small bowl or jar, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, crushed garlic, minced ginger, and 1 teaspoon of cornflour.
Add the sauce to the pan with the tofu and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly and the tofu is coated, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the honey garlic tofu over rice, alongside steamed broccoli. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
