Ingredients

• 400g (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 tbsp vegan butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp neutral oil
• 1 tbsp green onion, sliced

Instructions

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. Toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Heat neutral oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and sear tofu for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy on all sides.
4. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
5. In the same pan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Stir in soy sauce and maple syrup, simmering for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
7. Return the crispy tofu to the pan and toss gently to coat in the sauce for 1 minute.
8. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately until ready to serve.
