Ingredients

Tofu and Marinade

Preparation

Preparation and Cooking

1. Prepare the Tofu

Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

2. Marinate the Tofu

Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Add the tofu cubes and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. Coat the Tofu

After marinating, sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and toss well until all pieces are evenly coated with cornstarch.

4. Fry the Tofu

In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium-high heat to cover the bottom of the pan (about 1/4 inch deep). Once hot, carefully add the tofu cubes in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve

Remove the tofu from the skillet and place it on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with togarashi seasoning before serving. Enjoy with additional sriracha aioli for dipping.
