Instructions

1
Wrap the tofu in paper towels and weigh it down for 10–15 minutes to press out as much water as possible. This is key for crispiness.
2
Cut the pressed tofu into 2 cm cubes. Place them in a bowl, sprinkle with corn starch and salt, and gently toss to evenly coat the cubes.
3
Heat oil in a pan and fry the tofu over medium heat for about 10–12 minutes. Turn the cubes occasionally until they are golden-brown and crispy on all sides.
4
While frying, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and chili in a small bowl. Gradually add warm water until you get a smooth, pourable sauce.
5
Once the tofu is crispy, pour the prepared marinade into the pan. Cook for another 1–2 minutes over low heat until the sauce thickens and fully coats the tofu.
6
Serve immediately, preferably with cooked brown rice or quinoa and fresh vegetables.
