Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Honey Garlic Tofu

Begin by pressing your extra-firm tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water.
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes and toss gently in cornstarch with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and fry the tofu cubes for 3-4 minutes on each side.
In a small bowl, mix honey and minced garlic to make the sauce.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the crispy tofu in the pan and toss gently.
Serve promptly, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
