Ingredients

– Start by pressing your tofu for 30 minutes. Wrap your drained tofu in a cloth and place a cutting board with the heavy objects on top. Alternatively, use a tofu press. – Cut tofu into 1 inch pieces. In a large bag, add tofu with cornstarch and garlic powder. Shake gently until combined. – Air fry or bake your tofu (Instructions on website).

Directions

– To make your sauce, begin heating a large saucepan over medium-high heat. – Add in sesame oil and heat for a minute. Add in minced garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. – Next, add in white wine vinegar and sweet chili sauce. Cook until it becomes syrupy and thick (~90 seconds). – Add in soy sauce and water. Bring it to a rolling boil and cook for ~10 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Your sauce should be reduced by at least 1/2 to 2/3. – Place tofu into sauce reduction and stir until all pieces of tofu are coated with sauce.
