FAQ:
Q: Can I use other types of tofu?
A: It’s best to use firm or extra-firm tofu for this recipe, as it holds up well during cooking. Silken tofu is too delicate and will not work well for frying.

Q: Can I bake the tofu instead of frying it?
A: Yes, you can bake the tofu. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
A: Yes, the tofu and sauce can be made ahead of time and stored separately. When ready to serve, reheat the tofu and sauce together in a skillet.
