1 tablespoon minced ginger
5 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of brown sugar

Procédé

Thaw the tofu in the fridge overnight (do not press it)
Now press the tofu to extract almost all the water
Gently break it into small pieces, be careful as it will be very crumbly
In a bowl, combine it with the marinade ingredients and mix gently
In another bowl, mix the batter for fritters (my universal breadcrumb recipe)
Heat oil to 180 degrees
Dip each piece of tofu individually in the breadcrumbs, then place in the oil. Fry the tofu pieces a first time until “lightly golden. Set aside for 5 min and fry a second time until” golden
In a wok over high heat, sauté the garlic and ginger for 2 min
Reduce to medium heat and add the sauce mixture, simmer for 3 min
Add the water and cornstarch mixture and stir constantly until thickened
Add the tofu fritters and mix gently

Notes

For the breadcrumbs to stick, it's important to ensure the oil is hot enough. A tip is to put a small piece of dough in it; if it immediately starts to bubble and float, it's ready
