Ingredients
  

Tofu Base
  • 200 g tofu cubed
  • 1 tbsp oil
Sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in skillet and cook tofu until golden and slightly crispy.
  2. Remove tofu and sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant.
  3. Add soy sauce and maple syrup, stirring into a glossy sauce.
  4. Return tofu and coat evenly, cooking until sauce thickens.
  5. Serve warm with balanced crispy and tender texture.

Notes

Cook tofu longer for crispier texture or shorter for softer bite. Avoid overcrowding pan. Freeze tofu before cooking for chewier texture if desired. Customize sauce with spice or sweetness. Store leftovers in fridge and reheat gently to maintain texture.
