Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water if necessary. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

Coat the tofu cubes with corn starch by placing them in a container or plastic bag and shaking.

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.

In the same pan over medium heat, warm sesame oil. Add minced ginger and chopped green onion, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

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.

Serve the saucy tofu with steamed broccoli and cooked rice.
