Directions

1. Step

Thaw the frozen tofu, drain the excess water, and tear it into bite-sized pieces. Place the tofu in a plastic bag, add cornstarch, and shake to coat evenly. Add olive oil, shake again, and spread the coated tofu on a baking pan. Bake at 220°C (428°F) for 15 minutes until crispy.

2. Step

In a bowl, combine chili powder, sugar, garlic powder, ketchup, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, peanut jam (if using), corn syrup, and chili oil. Mix well until smooth.

3. Step

Heat a pan over low heat and pour in the sauce. Simmer for 20-30 seconds. Add the baked tofu and toss quickly to coat. Stir in chopped peanuts and sliced green chili, stir-frying for another 20-30 seconds. Turn off the heat and serve hot.
