Step 1

Set a large, non-stick skillet over high heat with enough oil to shallow fry the tofu.Place the cubes of tofu in a large bowl and toss with the cornstarch until thoroughly coated.When the oil is hot and the surface is rippling, CAREFULLY place each piece of the tofu into the oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, until a crisp, golden crust develops on at least four out of the six sides.⁣⁣⁣Remove the tofu from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with a little salt while the cubes are still hot.

Step 2

While the tofu is cooking, prepare the sauce:In a medium bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and white parts of the onion.Carefully pour off excess oil from the skillet used to cook the tofu and set it back over medium-high heat.Pour the sauce into the hot skillet and simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced by a third and thickened slightly (about 3 minutes). The sauce will bubble rapidly due to the viscosity of the honey. Once the mixture deepens in colour and the bubbles become smaller, swipe a spatula through the centre of the skillet to create a divide in the ssauceabout 2" wide. When the sauce takes 3-4 seconds to fill in and meet in the centre of the skillet again, it's ready.

Step 3

⁣⁣⁣Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and toss in the sauce until thoroughly coated.Garnish with the remaining sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve over rice with garlicky greens on the side. ⁣⁣⁣Enjoy!
