- 400 grams (14 oz) firm tofu
- 4 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- About 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
- Drain the tofu and press it for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture.

- In a small bowl, stir together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
- Coat each tofu cube evenly in cornstarch.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the tofu cubes until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Drain the crispy tofu on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Return the skillet to medium heat, pour in the honey garlic sauce, and let it simmer for about a minute.
- Add the crispy tofu back into the skillet, tossing gently to coat it in the sauce.
