Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions
- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture for at least 15 minutes, then cut it into cubes.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until sugar dissolves.
