Instructions

1. Drain the tofu and press out the excess water using a tofu press, or wrap it in a clean tea towel and weigh it down with something heavy.
2. In a small bowl, combine the sweet soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated garlic and red pepper flakes. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water, then stir or whisk until smooth.
3. Cut the tofu into triangles or cubes and coat them in the remaining cornstarch.
4. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in a single layer, without letting the pieces touch, and pan-fry for a few minutes per side until golden and crispy.
5. Pour the marinade into the pan; it will bubble up immediately. Quickly turn the tofu so every piece is coated on both sides.
6. Transfer to a plate right away and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
