Ingredients

Sticky Tofu

  • 400 g extra-firm tofu cubed
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 tsp grated ginger
  • vegetable oil for frying

Sticky Sauce

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water

Serving

  • 300 g cooked rice
  • Sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and sliced red chilies for garnish

Instructions

  • Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. You can do this by wrapping the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes.
  • Once pressed, cut the tofu into cubes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  • Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, gently toss to coat, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat some vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the marinated tofu cubes to the hot pan and cook until they become crispy and golden brown on all sides. This may take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, tomato paste, sriracha sauce, cornstarch, and water.
  • Return the pan to the heat and pour in the sticky sauce mixture.
  • Add the cooked tofu back to the pan and stir well to coat the tofu in the sauce.
  • Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu.
  • Serve the sticky tofu over cooked rice.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and sliced red chilies, if desired.
