- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
- Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.
