Believe it or not, my kids LOVE this Sticky Sriracha Tofu. Even the picky 3 year old loves it, who generally doesn’t like spice at all. I do tend to pat off a bit of the sauce for him, but he gobbles it up! I’m so thrilled about the fact that my family enjoys it because I could eat it any day of the week. SO. DANG. GOOD. You can control the spice factor by adding less or more Sriracha hot sauce. Go on the lower side if you don’t like a lot of spice. This Sriracha Tofu has the perfect amount of sweet and spicy taste! BONUS: It’s easy to make any day of the week!
How to make Crispy Tofu the easiest way ever!
This is probably my favorite part of the whole recipe. I’ve started making tofu a new way recently, and today I’m going to share it with you. It’s making my life a lot easier! First, you will need to drain and press your tofu. UNLESS you buy the high protein version that is not sitting in water. If I know it’s going to be a busy week, I buy that kind to skip the pressing. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. After pressing the tofu, slice it into cubes and add it to a large, ziplock bag along with a tablespoon of olive oil, cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently shake the bag until the pieces are coated evenly. It’s so much easier than using a bowl and trying to stir it with a spoon!
Then, simply dump the tofu onto a parchment lined baking sheet and space them out so the cubes aren’t touching. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the pieces (I use a fork, gently for this) and bake for 15 more minutes. You will have perfectly crispy, delicious tofu with minimal effort!
While the tofu is baking, cook your rice and make the sauce on the stovetop. Once the tofu is done, add it to the sauce to coat. Serve with rice.
What to serve with Sticky Sriracha Tofu?
Serve with white or brown rice and chopped green onions. You might feel like rounding this dish out with a vegetable. Steamed broccoli, cauliflower or kale are all good choices. Sometimes we have it with sliced cucumbers, grated carrots, sliced cabbage and avocado slices. I know that sounds a little out there, but it’s a great combination especially on a warm day!
