Cook the tofu: Prepare baked tofu ahead of time (you can use this baked tofu recipe!) or pan-fry it in a bit of oil until golden and crisp. Set aside.
1 recipe baked tofu
Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
½ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup water, 2 teaspoon honey, 1 ½ teaspoon red chili flakes, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
Sauté aromatics: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and jalapeños. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
½ cup red onion, 3 teaspoon garlic, oil for cooking, 1 small jalapeno
Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until it becomes fragrant—don’t let it burn!
Add the sauce: Pour the sauce into the skillet. Let it bubble and cook for a minute or two, until it thickens slightly.
Toss in the tofu: Add the cooked tofu to the pan. Stir to coat every piece in the sauce and let it simmer for another minute.
Serve: Garnish with green onions and serve warm over rice, noodles, or a veggie stir fry. Enjoy!
