Instructions

1. Pat the tofu dry, break it into bite-sized pieces, and toss with the soy sauce, maple syrup and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. Set aside.
2. Set up a dry plate with 1 cup of flour, and a wet plate with 1/2 cup of flour plus 3/4 cup water, mixed with a fork until dissolved.
3. Coat half the tofu in the dry flour, dip it in the wet batter, then coat again in the dry flour. Set aside and repeat with the rest.
4. Heat the avocado oil in a frying pan over medium heat for a few minutes.
5. Fry the breaded tofu in two batches for 2-4 minutes, turn it, fry for another 2-3 minutes, and move to a cooling rack.
6. Grate the garlic and juice the lemon.
7. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat, add 2 tsp toasted sesame oil and the garlic, and cook for about 1 minute. Add the cane sugar, turmeric and salt, and cook for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and stir well.
8. Mix the potato starch with 2 tbsp water to make a slurry. Pour it into the pan while stirring; add more water if the sauce thickens too fast.
9. Add the crispy tofu, turn off the heat and toss to coat.
10. Plate and sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
