INGREDIENTS:

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons honey
about 1/2 pound firm tofu
1/2 cup flour
4 scallions, chopped
about 3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

DIRECTIONS:

Put soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil, red
pepper flakes, cornstarch and honey into a bowl and whisk well until fully
combined. Set aside.

Cut the tofu into 3/4-inch to 1-inch cubes.

Roll the tofu cubes in the flour, making sure you are coating them on all sides.

boiling the sauce until it becomes translucent and thickens. Take off the heat
and pour over the tofu.
