1 Tbsp. ginger, chopped
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 tsp. Sriracha sauce or red-pepper paste

Directions
- In a large bowl, gently toss the tofu in cornstarch until well coated. Shake off the excess.

- Add the tofu and cook until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil, if necessary.
