Toss the cubed tofu in corn starch until evenly coated. Heat oil in a frying pan and cook the tofu until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.

2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauces, sugar, corn starch, Sriracha, vegan fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, mirin, pepper, garlic granules, and water.

πŸ’‘ Double check that the corn starch is fully dissolved so you do not get lumps.

3

Add a little more oil to the pan and sautΓ© the onions and bell peppers until they start to soften.

πŸ’‘ Keep the veggies crunchy by not overcooking them at this stage.

4

Add the tofu back into the pan along with the fresh garlic. Cook for a minute until the garlic is fragrant.

πŸ’‘ Be careful not to burn the garlic.

5

Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients and toss everything together. Cook until the sauce thickens and coats everything nicely.

πŸ’‘ Serve immediately over a warm bowl of rice.
