Preheat the oven to 400 Fahrenheit.
Drain the excess liquid from the tofu and dry it off with a towel*.
Cut into 1 inch cubes and add to a large bowl. Toss with the soy sauce.
Toss with the cornstarch, then the breadcrumbs until all pieces are evenly coated.
Add to the baking tray and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
During the final 10 minutes, prep the sauce.
Mince the garlic and saute with 1 tbsp neutral oil in a small saute pan for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned.
Add in the soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, 2 tbsp of water and sesame oil.
Whisk together the cornstarch and other 2 tbsp of water in a bowl and add to the pan.
Heat over low heat for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce bubbles and thickens.
When the tofu is done, toss with the sauce. Serve over rice with steamed broccoli or enjoy as is!
