Maple Ginger Tofu [Vegan]

Ingredients

• 1 package firm tofu⁣ (400g)
• 2 tablespoons corn starch⁣
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (plus extra to fry)⁣
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup⁣
• 1 tablespoon ginger (I used a paste)⁣
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar⁣
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder⁣

Preparation

1. Press the tofu around an hour before cooking to allow all the water to drain⁣- this is an important step to ensure the tofu becomes crispy!
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F
3. Slice the tofu into small cubes.
4. Toss the tofu in the cornstarch to evenly coat all cubes⁣.
5. Over a medium heat, heat some coconut oil in a pan then add in the coated tofu, turning a few times until all sides turn golden⁣.
6. In a bowl or blender add the maple syrup, coconut oil, ginger, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder, and mix/blend until smooth.⁣
7. Transfer the tofu into a bowl and pour the sauce over it to coat all cubes evenly (don't get rid of the remaining sauce!)⁣.
8. Transfer the tofu into a baking tray and pour what’s left of the sauce over the cubes⁣.
9. Bake for 15 minutes (or until the sauce is bubbling).⁣
10. Serve!
