Pat your pressed tofu dry with a paper towel or dish cloth. Cut into big cubes.
In a bowl or a large add your tofu cubes with the cornstarch and salt and gently toss until combined.
In a medium-large non-stick pan, warm some oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add your tofu cubes and pan-fry until golden brown on each side. (This takes about 8-10 minutes).
*For an oil-free recipe using the air-fryer, see below in the notes section.
Whisk sauce: While your tofu cooks, whisk the rest of the ingredients in a small microwavable bowl.
Tip: microwaving your sauce for 30 seconds to help the brown sugar dissolve better!

Turn down your stove to low heat. Add your sauce to your tofu and gently toss until combined. Warm for a few minutes so the sauce can caramelize on the tofu.
Serve: Enjoy right away with rice and veggies. Top with diced green onion and/or sesame seeds for a pretty garnish.
