Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes and marinate in a mixture of soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Coat the Tofu

    After marinating, toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tofu

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated tofu cubes and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip halfway through for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Rice

    While the tofu is frying, prepare the cooked rice according to package instructions.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place the cooked rice on plates, top with crispy tofu, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
