1 block firm or extra firm tofu
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 cup oil of choice
- For the sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp oil
1/2 cup sprite
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp sesame seeds for topping
1 green onion chopped, for topping
Directions
- Start by soaking the block of tofu in water for about 15 minutes.
- Drain and press the tofu for at least 30 minutes & cut the tofu into small cubes.
- Place the cornstarch, paprika, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
- Place the tofu pieces into the mixing bowl and shake around so that all the pieces are covered in cornstarch mixture (alternatively you can coat each piece separately)
- Heat the oil on a non-stick large frying pan over medium-high heat & place all of the tofu into the pan.
- Allow the tofu pieces to get crispy on the bottom side, then flip them around and allow them to crisp on every side.
- Remove the tofu from the pan and place on a plate or in a bowl.
- In the saucepan over medium heat, combine the sauce ingredients and whisk.
Turn up the heat to medium-high and let the sauce cook until it becomes bubbly, thick and sticky, continuously stirring while it cooks. Once it has thickened, turn the heat to low. - Add the crispy tofu to the pan and mix until the tofu is completely coated.
- Serve as is or over cooked rice. Top with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy!
