Heat the oven to 400F degrees.
Place the block of tofu between several paper towels and gently squeeze to get as much moisture out as possible. **You may need to replace the paper towels a couple times
Slice the tofu into ½-1" squares and toss in the oil, salt and black pepper.
Spread it on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and slightly crisped on the outside. (*can also be pan-fried in a non-stick skillet).
While the tofu bakes, mix the remaining ingredients together (except rice, green onions and sesame seeds).
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the tofu.
Pour the sauce over the top and toss to fully coat the tofu. Cook for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and serve over steamed white rice garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Add a bit of extra honey to give the tofu a sweeter, richer flavor.
You can fry the tofu in a non-stick skillet instead of baking it also.
Make sure you’re using firm or extra-firm tofu for this recipe, otherwise it won’t hold up very well when pan-fried.
Serve it over rice or with a side of veggies for a complete meal.
This recipe is easy to adapt, so feel free to add extra spice. A pinch of chili flakes would be delicious!
You can also stir some chopped cashews or peanuts into your Honey Garlic Tofu for a crunchy topping.
To make this recipe vegan, replace the honey with coconut sugar or palm sugar.
Time-saving tip: cut up your tofu and prep the sauce ahead of time for a super quick meal!
