1
Prepare the Tofu
Start by draining the firm tofu and pressing it to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a weight on top for about 15 minutes.
2
Cut the Tofu
After pressing the tofu, cut it into cubes approximately 1-inch in size.
3
Marinate the Tofu
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the tofu cubes and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4
Coat with Cornstarch
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the marinated tofu cubes and toss gently until evenly coated.
5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
6
Cook the Tofu
Once the oil is hot, add the coated tofu cubes in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the tofu from the pan and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot as a side dish or add to your favorite stir-fry.
