• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 tablespoon

• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped

Steps

2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Add the cubed tofu to the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
