Instructions

  1. 1

    Press the extra firm tofu (16 ounces) for 20 minutes, ideally using a tofu press, but if you don't have a tofu press then stand the [extra firm tofu] on a plate with another plate on top of it and then place something heavy on top, like a heavy pot.

  2. 2

    Once the [extra firm tofu] is pressed cut it into cubes.

  3. 3

    Mix the light soy sauce (2 tbsp), garlic powder (1 tsp), onion powder (1 tsp), ground ginger (1 tsp), maple syrup (1 tbsp), rice vinegar (1 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tbsp), and hoisin sauce (1 tbsp) (excluding the cornstarch (1 tsp)) together and pour over the [extra firm tofu]. Turn over all the blocks of [extra firm tofu] so they have marinade on both sides. Place into the fridge and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add a little [sesame oil] to a frying pan and then add the [extra firm tofu], leaving the tofu marinade sauce behind. Fry the [extra firm tofu] until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Mix the leftover marinade sauce with the cornstarch (1 tsp) and then pour it over the [extra firm tofu] in the frying pan. Fry until the sauce thickens.

  6. 6

    Serve over [basmati rice] (optional) with some chopped [chives] for garnish.
