Vegan Sweet Sticky Tofu
Ingredients
- 1/2 block (130g) extra firm tofu
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- Spray oil for frying
Preparation
Drain the tofu, wrap it in a clean tea towel, and press gently to remove liquid until most is gone.
Slice the tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, sriracha sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, and cornflour until smooth.
Add the tofu cubes to the sauce, coat well, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Spray a little oil into a non-stick frying pan and preheat on high heat for 5 minutes.
Add the tofu to the hot pan, reserving some sauce, and cook on medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently.
Five minutes before the end of cooking, pour the remaining sauce over the tofu and continue cooking until it is firm, sticky, and lightly golden.
Serving suggestions
Serve with cooked brown rice, stir-fried garlicky broccoli and mushrooms, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
