Ingredients:

  • 1.3 pounds of frozen tofu
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or any cooking oil

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp corn syrup
  • 1½ tbsp dark soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp oyster sauce
  • ½ tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp chili oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tbsp sugar-free peanut jam, optional

Garnish, optional

  • Chopped peanuts
  • 1 chili pepper, sliced

Directions:

Step 1

Thaw the tofu, then squeeze out as much water as possible, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Break the tofu into small bite-sized pieces, then put them inside a plastic bag along with the cornstarch, and give them a good shake until well coated. Drizzle some olive oil inside, then continue to shake until evenly coated, and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper spreading them evenly in a single layer. Put them inside the preheated oven at 428°F or 220°C, then let them bake for about 15 minutes, and make sure to turn them over in the middle of the baking process.

After half a minute, add the baked tofu, then toss them around until well coated, and add the chopped peanuts and sliced pepper.
