  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar

  • 1/4 cup green onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Equipment

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Press the tofu for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture until firm.
  2. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Fry tofu cubes in a single layer for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until crispy and golden brown.
  5. Whisk sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
  6. Lower heat to medium, pour the sauce over the tofu, and stir for 2 minutes until a glossy glaze forms.
  7. Divide jasmine rice into two bowls, top with glazed tofu and steamed broccoli, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to restore crispness.
