Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water if necessary. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
2
Coat the tofu cubes with corn starch by placing them in a container or plastic bag and shaking.
3
In a large pan over medium-high heat, warm vegetable oil, then brown half of the tofu cubes on all sides. Set aside, and brown the remaining tofu cubes, adjusting heat if necessary.
4
In the same pan over medium heat, warm sesame oil. Add minced ginger and chopped green onion, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5
Whisk together rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and chili flakes in a bowl or jar. Pour the sauce into the pan with ginger and green onion.

Add the browned tofu to the pan and simmer for about 5 minutes, tossing regularly, until the sauce thickens.
