This crispy glazed tofu is delicious and so easy to make. I’d happily snack on a bowl of these crispy, sweet, salty, glazed, delicious tofu cubes on their own. However, in this recipe I’ll also show you how to make the wok-tossed greens and rice which go really well with the tofu. This dish is one of our go-to weeknight dinners. It’s healthy, versatile and made within 30 minutes.
Tofu is one of my favourite high-protein ingredients. However, it can divide people. You may think “you either love it or hate it” but I say “you either know how to cook it or you don’t (yet)”. So this is what today’s recipe is about: I want to show you one of the many, many ways you can make tofu delicious.
To finish off the dish I like to add sesame seeds and sliced spring onion. However, I think roasted peanuts would make a great topping too!

Toppings
1spring onionchopped
1tspsesame seeds
chili flakes(optional)
Instructions
Rice
Thoroughly rinse the rice and add it into a pot together with the water and salt. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat, cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. If needed, add a splash more water until the rice is al dente. Keep the rice covered until the rest of the meal is cooked. Then fluff with a fork before serving.
Tofu and Glaze
While the rice is cooking, pat the tofu dry with a paper towel and cut it into 1cm cubes.
Into a shallow bowl or plate, add the cornflour, salt and allspice and mix. Then add the tofu and cover it with the cornflour. Try to get all 6 sides of the cubes covered with some cornflour.
Heat up the wok and add 1 tbsp sunflower oil. Then add the tofu and fry it until crisp and golden.
While the tofu is cooking, add the rice malt syrup, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and tamari into a bowl. As soon as the tofu is crispy and golden, add it into the bowl and let it sit with the glaze while you prepare the greens.
Greens
As soon as the tofu is done and mixed in with the glaze, add the cut pak choy and halved snow peas into the wok and cook them for about 2 minutes, tossing the wok frequently to make sure they don't stick or burn.
How to serve/Toppings
Into a bowl, add the rice, greens and the glazed tofu. Top with chopped spring onion, sesame seeds and chili flakes. Enjoy!
