Ingredients You’ll Need:
✔ 200g firm tofu, cubed
✔ 2 tbsp Soy Moi Chili Garlic Sauce (the flavor bomb!)
✔ 1 tbsp soy sauce (for that deep umami taste)
✔ 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adds the perfect sweetness to balance the spice!)
✔ 1 tbsp cornstarch (for that ultra-crispy texture!)
✔ 1 tbsp oil (for frying)
✔ ½ tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
✔ ½ spring onion, chopped (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Recipe for the Perfect Glazed Tofu
Step 1: Toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch and a pinch of salt. This creates a light, crispy coating that helps the sauce stick.
Step 2: Heat oil in a pan and pan-fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: In the same pan, add Soy Moi Chili Garlic Sauce, soy sauce, and honey/maple syrup. Stir for a few seconds until the sauce starts bubbling.
Step 4: Add the crispy tofu to the pan and toss well, making sure each piece is evenly coated in that sweet-spicy goodness. Let it cook for 1 minute until the glaze thickens.
Step 5: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.
Step 6: Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or stir-fried noodles!
✅ Pro Tip:
For an extra layer of tanginess, add a splash of lemon juice or rice vinegar right before serving—it takes the flavors to a whole new level!✨
