Instructions

1: Mix cornstarch, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl or tray with high sides.

2: Add all the tofu cubes and coat them evenly.

3: In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, pickled jalapeño brine, white miso paste, grated garlic, grated ginger, and mushroom seasoning. Whisk until combined and set aside.

4: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with the olive oil for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

5: Add the tofu cubes to the pan, ensuring all cubes are touching the bottom.

6: Allow the cubes to sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then toss the cubes to coat evenly and achieve a golden brown sear on all sides, about 4-6 more minutes.

7: Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu cubes and toss to coat evenly for about 1 minute.

8: Serve the tofu on rice, topped with sliced spring onion and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
