Step 4: Cut the tofu into small cubes and heat the oil in a large non-stick pan or wok over medium. (Make sure the oil is super hot before adding the tofu in, otherwise it will stick to the bottom.)

Step 5: Fry the tofu cubes until all sides are golden brown and crispy (flipping gently with a spatula). (It usually takes me 2 “turns” to fry the tofu.)

Step 6: Reduce the heat to low and add the stir fry sauce to the pan. Be careful because the oil can bubble up and burn you! Stir fry for about 1 minute until everything is well incorporated.

    Made this last night and it totally hit the spot! The tofu was perfectly crisp and the sauce had that sweet-savory balance I love in a good stir fry. Served it over jasmine rice and added some chili flakes for a kick—definitely going into the weekly meal prep rotation!
