Ingredients

for the sauce:

Instructions

  • If you haven't already, press the liquid out of the tofu either using a tofu press, or by placing a clean towel on top and gently pressing out as much moisture as you can.
  • Next, slice the tofu into 1" cubes, then place them into a plastic bag. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the bag, seal it shut and shake it until the tofu is coated.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the tofu and cook it until it's nice and crispy on all sides, about 8 minutes. If it seems like it's browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium.
  • While the tofu is cooking, make the sauce: whisk the butter, soy sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and cornstarch together in a small bowl.
  • Once the tofu is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat, then pour in the sauce, stirring until the tofu is coated. It will thicken very quickly, so this shouldn't take long.
  • Sprinkle with green onions and enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
*I recommend serving this over rice, quinoa or with roasted vegetables
*Feel free to use more or less sriracha depending on how spicy you want it to be. Or, sub chili garlic sauce or gochujang if you prefer! 
*Storage: You CAN store leftovers, but the tofu won't be as crispy when you reheat it (it's best fresh!), so keep that in mind. With that said, store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 4 days, and reheat in the microwave.
