Measuring cup
Measuring spoons
Whisk
Spatula
Tongs
Sheet pan, if baking
Conventional, or toaster oven or air fryer/oven.

ingredients

1 package Sunrise Tofu Puffs (in refrigerator section of grocery store)

GLAZE

1/4 cup coconut aminos (very low sodium soy sauce substitute – I use Naked & Saucy brand or you can use Tamari or soy sauce, but it will be a lot higher in sodium)
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cloves garlic (pressed)
1 tsp finely grated ginger
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce (I use Lee Kum Kee)
1 tsp miso paste (I use white miso)
1 tsp peanut butter powder (or smooth peanut butter)
1/2 tsp cornstarch (or tapioca starch)
1 tsp rice vinegar

Green onion
Black and white sesame seeds
Red chili flakes (optional)

instructions

Dissolve cornstarch in the rice vinegar. Whisk together all GLAZE ingredients in a small bowl (including cornstarch slurry). Pour into a small pan over medium-low heat and stirr frequently until mixture starts to boil. Continue stirring until thickened into a syrupy sauce. Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl. Add entire package of tofu puffs and mix well with a spatula, or tongs, to coat all the puffs.

Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet (or perforated liner in air fryer). Bake/air-fry until golden and glaze is bubbling and looks sticky. Remove puffs from the oven and dump back into the bowl for a second coating of glaze. Return to oven and bake until bubbly and sticky again.

Remove from oven to a serving bowl with tongs and garnish with sesame seeds, chili flakes (if you like heat) and green onion. Watch them disappear!
