For the tofu

• 12.34 oz extra firm tofu, liquids strained out
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil or any neutral oil
• 1/2-3/4 cup cornstarch or potato starch

For the sauce

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp regular soy sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp Shaoxing Cooking Wine
• 1 tsp white granulated sugar
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup water, room temperature

For garnish

• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine 2 garlic cloves, 1 tbsp regular soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp Shaoxing Cooking Wine, 1 tsp white granulated sugar, 1 tsp rice vinegar, ½ tbsp cornstarch and ½ cup water and set aside.
2. Pat dry the tofu with paper towels to remove excess moisture and dice into 3/4-inch cubes. Set aside.
3. Spread ½-¾ cup cornstarch onto a large plate or baking sheet and generously and gently coat the diced tofu in small batches. Feel free to add more cornstarch if needed. Set aside.
4. Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Fry coated tofu until golden and crispy, about 14-20 minutes in total, flipping over halfway. Remove fried tofu from pan and set aside.

   14-20 min

5. Add the 1 tbsp sauce into the pan and simmer to thicken.

   2-3 min

6. Toss fried tofu in the thickened 1 tbsp sauce until evenly coated. Remove off heat. Garnish with 1 green onion and 1 tsp sesame seeds. Enjoy!
