Steps (4)

1

To prep the tofu, place the block between paper towels and sandwich in between two plates to dry it out. Leave for at least 15 minutes.
2

Stir the spicy plant powered ranch and agave syrup together and set aside. When tofu is ready, cut it into 1-inch bites.
3

Gently coat the tofu pieces in the cornstarch. Preheat a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. When shimmering, carefully add the tofu pieces and cook, about two minutes per side, until crisp and golden.
4

Remove the pan from the heat and let it rest for about 2-3 minutes, to slightly cool down. Add the sauce to the pan and gently toss until the tofu pieces are evenly coated. Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately.

Rated 4 out of 5 by NegativeWaves from Yum, but bland. This recipe was okay but could use some more complexity with the flavor notes.
