Begin by pressing your extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, which is crucial for achieving that desired crispiness. Wrap the tofu in clean kitchen towels, place a heavy weight on top (like a skillet or a few cans), and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

Once your tofu is pressed, carefully unwrap it and cut it into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch thick.

In a large bowl, toss the cubed tofu in cornstarch until each piece is thoroughly coated.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger, stirring frequently until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.

Heat about 1/4 inch of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the tofu cubes gently in a single layer, frying them for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.

When the tofu is golden and crispy, reduce the heat to low and carefully add the fried tofu to the prepared sauce in the pan. Toss gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
