PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES

COOK TIME: 20 MINUTES

YIELDS: 4 TO 5

INGREDIENTS:

• 14 oz package EXTRA FIRM tofu

• 1 TBSP cornstarch or arrowroot powder plus extra as needed

• 2 TBSP EVOO

• 1-2 TBSP sliced green onion

• Broccoli

SWEET AND SPICY MARINADE:

• 1 cup water

• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari soy sauce if GF

• ¼ cup coconut liquid aminos

• 2 TBSP honey or sweet chili sauce

• 2-3 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)

• 1-3 TBSP of Gojuchang sauce

• 1-2 TBSP cornstarch

• 1-2 TBSP water

• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

COOKING DIRECTIONS:

1. Drain and remove the water from the tofu by pressing with paper towels to absorb moisture.

2. Slice the tofu block into bite-sized cubes, sprinkle cornstarch on top, and set aside. (This coating prevents sticking and helps aid in maximum crispiness!)

3. In a separate bowl, combine and mix water, soy sauce, coconut liquid aminos, honey, garlic, and gochujang sauce.

4. Over medium-low heat, add EVOO, sweet and spicy marinade, 1 tbsp of cornstarch, and bring to a light boil.

5. Once the sauce thickens, add coated tofu, and broccoli, and gently fry evenly throughout all sides. The end tofu product should be firm and crispy, glazed with the sauce.

Serve with your favorite sides. I like to serve over white or brown rice and top with toasted black sesame flakes.
