Start by wrapping extra-firm tofu in clean kitchen towels and placing a heavy object on top to press it down. Let it sit for 30–60 minutes.

Once pressed, carefully remove the tofu from the towel and cut it into bite-sized cubes.

In a mixing bowl, add the cubed tofu and toss gently with cornstarch until all sides are well-coated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until fully combined.

Heat about half a cup of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the tofu cubes in a single layer. Fry them for 5–7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Once the tofu is crispy, reduce the heat to low and pour the sauce over the fried tofu in the skillet. Gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.

Transfer the crispy honey garlic tofu to a serving dish, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
