Honey Garlic Tofu is a delightful dish that combines crispy, marinated tofu with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a cozy dinner and is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean towel and place a heavy object on top.
2. While the tofu is pressing, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create the marinade.
3. Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss them in cornstarch until evenly coated.
4. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy on all sides.
5. Pour the honey garlic marinade over the tofu and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu.
6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
