Prep the tofu

Drain and press the tofu for at least 10 minutes. Once pressed, cut into about 1-inch cubes.

Coat the tofu

Add the tofu cubes to a large bowl with the cornstarch and salt. Gently toss until the tofu is evenly coated.

Fry the tofu

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu in a single layer. Fry evenly, flipping often so that all sides are golden brown. Remove from heat.

Prep the sauce

To a small bowl, add the chili crisp, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. Mix and adjust seasonings to taste, adding more sugar or soy sauce to preference–it will depend on your brand of chili crisp.

Add the sauce to the tofu

Pour the sauce over the tofu and toss to combine. Top with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
