Ingredients

Tofu and Marinade

Preparation

Tofu Preparation

1. Press the Tofu

To remove excess moisture from the firm tofu, wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object (like a cast iron skillet or a few books) on top. Let it sit for 30 minutes.

2. Cut the Tofu

After pressing, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch each. This helps achieve a crispy texture when cooking.

3. Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and togarashi seasoning. Mix well until fully combined.

4. Marinate the Tofu

Add the cubed tofu to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.

5. Coat with Cornstarch

After marinating, remove the tofu from the bowl and let excess marinade drip off. Place cornstarch in a separate bowl and coat each piece of tofu evenly with cornstarch for extra crispiness.
