Steps

20 minutes

1

Open the tofu packet. To squeeze excess water out of the tofu, wrap it in a towel and place a very heavy object on top for 10-20 minutes. After that, unwrap the tofu and cut it into bite size cubes
2

Add the marinade to the tofu and let it sit for 10 minutes or more (I say 10 minutes because I want to hurry up lol). Then coat the tofu with a thin layer of cornstarch.
3

Add the sauce ingredients together.
4

I’m cooking this in a microwave so I can’t really tell how long to cook anything or how much heat to put on. Just do as you feel.
5

Anyways, add vegetable oil or any non flavorful oil and sugar to a pan (I’m using a plate because I’m making this in the microwave). Heat it until the sugar dissolves. then add the tofu until it’s crispy. the add the sauce and let it simmer until it reduced. Then you’re done!
