Step 1
Press the tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Place a weighted plate or cutting board on top of the tofu and press for 10 minutes to remove excess liquid.
Step 2
Slice the pressed tofu into 1cm thick slabs.
Step 3
Pan-fry the tofu by heating 1-2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu slabs and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 4
Make the sauce by whisking together soy sauce, garlic, honey (or maple syrup), and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 5
Glaze the tofu by pouring the sauce over the pan-fried tofu and letting it absorb the sauce for 1-2 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through.
Step 6
Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped scallions, or grated ginger, if desired.
Step 7
Serve the Honey Soy Tofu Snack warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
