0 of 7 done
  1. Drain the tofu and press it gently to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1.5 cm cubes.
  2. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornflour to lightly coat all sides.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped red chili until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat, then add the zest and juice of one lime, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture well to combine.
  6. Return the crispy tofu cubes to the pan, tossing them gently in the sauce until well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the tofu absorbs the flavours.
  7. Transfer the tofu to a serving plate and garnish with sliced spring onion before serving.
