Ingrédients

1 block block extra firm tofu

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with soy sauce until evenly coated.
In another bowl, combine the cornstarch, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Coat each tofu cube with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and cook until all sides are golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the crispy tofu cubes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the tofu bites warm with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
