Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to make the marinade.

  2. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, gently toss to coat, and let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and sesame seeds together.

  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

  5. Coat each marinated tofu cube in the cornstarch and sesame seed mixture, making sure they are evenly coated on all sides.

  6. Carefully place the coated tofu cubes into the hot oil. Fry them in batches until they are golden brown and crispy all over, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  7. Once done, remove the tofu bites from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

  8. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the tofu bites for an extra pop of color and freshness.

  9. Serve the Sesame Tofu Bites warm with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping, if desired.
