- Press the tofu in a kitchen towel or tofu press for a few minutes to remove excess moisture, then slice into strips.

- In one bowl, mix the flour through the water until just thick and well combined, adding more water if needed. In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with 1/4 tsp salt.
- Dip each tofu strip in the batter to coat all sides, tap off the excess, then coat with breadcrumbs using your other hand.
- Place the strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or longer until crisp.
- For the sweet chili sauce, combine all its ingredients in a pan off the heat, then heat over medium until just about boiling.
- Taste and adjust sweetness, tang and spice, then take off the heat and pour into a serving bowl to cool slightly.
- Serve the tofu strips with the sauce, dipping each strip for 1 to 2 seconds.
