RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» Prep Tofu

1. Drain the tofu well. Using your hands, break the tofu into uneven bite-sized chunks instead of slicing. This helps the pieces hold more flavor and crisp up better. Keep them aside.

» Make the Sauce Mix

1. In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients. Mix until smooth.

» Bake Tofu

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Add the tofu chunks to a large mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of hoisin sauce mix. Sprinkle rice flour or cornstarch and toss well to gently coat until every piece is evenly covered.
2. Spread the tofu on the baking tray and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. You can flip halfway, until crisp and golden.

RECIPE NOTES

1. I broke tofu into uneven pieces. Breaking tofu gives better crispiness than cutting, but if you want you can also cut tofu into cubes.
2. When baking, make sure to leave space between tofu pieces to prevent steaming.
3. You can also pan-fry or air fry the tofu for this recipe.
