Ingredients
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or sub liquid coconut aminos if gluten-free
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼-½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup vegetable broth
- ¼ tsp ground ginger

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the dry ingredients with a whisk.
- In a small pan, heat the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and vegetable broth over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
- Once the mixture is bubbling, quickly add the brown sugar and whisk frequently until the crystals are completely dissolved.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture you created earlier and whisk continuously until well combined. At this point, the sauce should be getting thicker.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and let it sit for 3-4 minutes, during which time it will continue to thicken. Once it has gotten to your desired consistency, pour it over the crispy tofu and coat the tofu with it.
- Top your crispy tofu with sesame seeds and chives/green onions and serve!
