  • 1/2 cup of corn starch
  • 3 tbsps of liquid aminos
  • 2 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp of black pepper
  • 3 tbsps of vegan mayo
  • 1 1/2 tbsps of sriracha
  • 2 tbsps of sweet chili sauce
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  2. Drain, press, and cube the tofu. Add it to a bowl with the liquid aminos and marinate for 15-30 minutes
  3. While the tofu marinates, make the bang bang sauce using the mayo, sriracha, and sweet chili sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use
  4. Next, combine the cornstarch, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add in the tofu and coat each side
  5. In a medium-sized skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom over low-medium heat. Once hot, add the cornstarch coated tofu and fry on each side for 3 minutes or until golden. Transfer the tofu to a cooling rack or paper towel
  6. Now, add the bang bang sauce to a pot and bring to a simmer. It should begin to caramelize a bit
  7. Next, add the crispy tofu to the pot and mix well. Serve over rice and top with green onions and black sesame seeds
  8. Lastly, pat yourself on the back because YOU DID THATTT!
