Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Korean
Ingredients: 1 block of firm tofu, drained and cut into bite-sized cubes; 1/2 cup cornstarch; Vegetable oil for frying; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 2 tablespoons rice vinegar; 2 tablespoons honey; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon ginger, grated; 1 tablespoon sesame oil; 1 green onion, finely chopped; Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Start by draining the tofu and patting it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Coat the Tofu: Place the cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Gently toss the tofu cubes in the cornstarch until they are coated on all sides.
Fry the Tofu: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated tofu cubes in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried tofu to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Make the Soy Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Serve the Dish: Place the fried tofu on a serving platter. Drizzle the warm soy garlic sauce over the tofu cubes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Enjoy! Serve the Korean Fried Tofu with Soy Garlic Sauce hot as a delightful appetizer or as a main dish over steamed rice. The crispy texture of the tofu combined with the savory and sweet notes of the soy garlic sauce will surely impress your family and guests.
