1
Drain tofu and wrap it in a clean cloth or paper towels. Place something heavy on top to press out excess liquid for about 20 minutes.
2
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together light soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, agave, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, black pepper, paprika, and water to create the marinade.
3
Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and place them into the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days for optimal flavor.
4
In a pan over medium-high heat, add 2 teaspoons of oil. When it's hot, use a slotted spoon to remove the tofu from the marinade, and add it to the pan.
5
Cook the tofu for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until all sides are crispy and browned.
6
While the tofu is cooking, whisk 1 teaspoon of cornstarch into the leftover marinade.
7
Once the tofu is cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the cornstarch-marinated mixture. Coat the tofu evenly and let it sit for at least 2 minutes to thicken the sauce.
8
Serve the savory marinated tofu and enjoy!
