  21  1. Cut tofu into cubes of desired size (1/2 inch suggested)
  22  1. Combined marinade ingredients except for corn starch
  23  1. Cover tofu with marinade, marinate for ~30 minutes, refrigerated
  24  1. Strain tofu, retain marinade!
  25  1. Mix retained marinade and cornstarch well
  26  1. Preheat pan with oil over medium-high heat
  27  1. Sautee tofu for ~5 minutes, tossing every 30s
  28     - Alternatively, sautee for 2-3 minutes per size, flip once with

  31     thickens (~6 minutes).

  33 * TODO
  34
  35 Not crispy enough, increase sauteeing time to 10-12 minutes
  36
  37 Use extra firm tofu, maybe press? (signs point to pressing being a
  38 white people thing though).

  40 increase pomegranate molasses to 2tbsp I think
  41
  42 i think it wouldn't be terrible with only 2tbsp of soy sauce to drop
  43 the salt content further
  44
  45 bird's eye peppers instead of serrano/habanero
