Steps:
- Cut the tofu into 2-centimetre (3/4-inch) cubes and dry well on paper towels. Put half the cornstarch into a food bag, add the tofu cubes and toss to coat, then add the remaining cornstarch and toss again. Set aside for 5 minutes to become slightly tacky.
- Mix the rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl and set aside.
- Heat the sunflower oil in a wok or frying pan over a high heat and cook the tofu for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside to drain on paper towels. Drain any excess oil from the wok.
- Allow the wok to cool a little, then add the sesame oil, ginger, garlic and chile and gently fry for about 1 minute before adding the blended sauce ingredients with 150 milliliters (2/3 cup) water. Bubble until you have a thick, glossy sauce.
- Return the tofu to the pan and toss to coat all over. Serve with steamed basmati or brown rice and broccoli.
