This baked tofu is golden on the outside, tender on the inside, and glazed with sweet and spicy Thai Chili Sauce. Even if you're not a big tofu fan, I challenge you to resist eating every one of these flavorful bite-sized nuggets.
0 Preheat oven to 400°F / 204°C. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
1 While oven heats, cube and prepare tofu (be sure it is as dry as possible per notes below).
2 Whisk together 3 Tablespoons Sweet Thai Chili Sauce (reserve the remaining sauce), salt, soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted and toasted sesame oil. Combine with tofu and gently fold together to coat.
3 Sprinkle cornstarch over tofu and then gently stir until cornstarch evenly coats all of the tofu (don’t worry if some gathers in the bottom of the bowl).
4 Set aside for 5 minutes to let the cornstarch soak into the tofu.
5 Spread tofu out on prepared baking sheet, drizzling any liquids over the top.
6 Bake tofu, turning with a spatula every 10 minutes, until golden brown, ~30 minutes.
7 Drizzle remaining Sweet Thai Chili Sauce over tofu and return to the oven. Continue baking for 5 minutes more.
8 Serve warm.
