  • 1 16 ounce block extra firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch

  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon oil (I used avocado oil)

  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  9. While the tofu bakes, mince the garlic cloves finely.
  10. In a small sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
  11. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 2–3 minutes until lightly browned.
  12. Stir in low sodium tamari or soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, and two tablespoons of water into the pan with garlic.
  13. In a separate bowl, whisk together one tablespoon of corn starch with another two tablespoons of water until smooth.
  14. Add this mixture to your sauté pan.
  15. Heat over low heat for approximately 3–5 minutes until the sauce bubbles gently and thickens.
