Step 1
Press the 14 oz tofu between paper towels for 10 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
Toss the tofu cubes with 2 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated.
Step 3
Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil.
Step 5
Drizzle the sauce over the crispy tofu and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds and serve immediately.
