Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Start by draining the firm tofu and pressing it between two plates to remove excess moisture for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cut the Tofu

    Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes or slices, depending on your preference.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Tofu

    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the tofu cubes and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Coat the Tofu

    After marinating, sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu cubes and toss gently until they are evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  6. 6

    Cook the Tofu

    Add the coated tofu to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

  7. 7

    Add Green Onions

    In the last minute of cooking, add the chopped green onions to the skillet and stir-fry with the tofu for a minute until fragrant.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove the tofu from heat and serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
