Honey-Sriracha Tofu Bites ~ Dairy-Free; Gluten-Free; Vegan
This quick & easy recipe is chock full of flavor. It’s sweet with a kick of heat and is ready in about 20 minutes! Serve over rice with your favorite veggie 🙂
- 14 oz. Medium-Firm or Firm Tofu
- 1 tsp Garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp Sriracha Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Braggs Liquid Aminos (you may also use Soy Sauce)
- 4 Tbsp Honey (I usually add 4 Heaping Tablespoons)
- 2 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar (you may also use Rice Vinegar)
- 3-4 Tbsp Potato Starch (or GF Corn Starch*)
- 3 Tbsp Canola Oil
- 1-2 Chopped Fresh Green Onions (optional for topping)
- Gather all ingredients.
- Drain the water off of the block of Tofu and set the tofu on several layers of paper towels for about 10 minutes, flipping over a few times (this step helps pull the water out of the tofu, so it won’t “sweat” and add a bunch of liquid to your dish while cooking).
- While the tofu is draining, whisk together the Garlic, Sriracha, Braggs Liquid Aminos, Honey and Vinegar until completely blended. Set aside.
- Next, cut up the tofu into cubes and place in a medium to large bowl.
- Sprinkle the Potato Starch (NOT Potato Flour) over the cubes of Tofu and gently toss to evenly coat. *You may use Corn Starch in place of the Potato Starch, but the end result will be a little different…more crispy and chewy when using the Corn Starch; the Potato Starch results in a softer outside and somewhat “gummy.” My family prefers the Potato Starch, but both end up tasting delicious 😉
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat the Canola Oil over Medium to Medium-High heat until it has a shimmer on the surface, which indicates that it’s ready.
- Carefully, add the coated Tofu cubes and spread them out evenly. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until Tofu turns a light, golden brown.
- Add about 1/2 to 3/4 of the Honey-Sriracha Sauce (the reserve sauce is for topping) to the lightly-browned Tofu and gently stir to coat the Tofu.
- Lower the temperature to Low and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve over Rice, spooning a little bit of the reserve sauce over the top, and pair with your favorite vegetable. Yummy!
