CRISPY TOFU WITH MAPLE-SOY GLAZE
Whenever you're cooking tofu, here's one of our no-fail techniques: Draining the tofu, then squeezing out as much water as possible (without smashing it), is the key to the crispiest cubes.

Steps:
- Drain tofu, then sandwich between several layers of kitchen towels to remove excess liquid. Cut into 9 cubes.
- Whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. When oil is rippling across the surface, carefully add tofu so it doesn't splash. Cook, undisturbed, until very crisp and dark brown underneath, 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn and repeat on opposite side. Holding tofu back with a spatula or slotted spoon, pour out oil into a small bowl. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add soy sauce mixture. Cook, reducing heat to medium so it doesn't over-reduce or burn and basting tofu occasionally, until glaze is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes.
- Divide tofu among plates. Drizzle with glaze, then top with scallions. Serve with rice alongside.
