Equipment

  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Cut tofu into cubes and coat lightly with cornstarch for crisp texture.
  2. Heat oil in skillet and cook tofu until golden and crispy on edges.
  3. Remove tofu and sauté vegetables until tender yet slightly crisp.
  4. Mix sauce ingredients and pour into skillet, stirring until glossy.
  5. Return tofu to pan and toss gently to coat evenly.
  6. Serve immediately while hot for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Cook tofu longer for crispier texture or less for softer bite. Freeze tofu before cooking for a chewier texture if desired. Handle gently when mixing to keep cubes intact. Adjust flavors with spice or sweetness. Store leftovers refrigerated up to three days and reheat in a pan.
