Instructions

For the Tofu

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Cut tofu into bite-sized cubes and place the tofu pieces into a medium size bowl, add the oil and soy sauce. Toss well and set aside.
You will need three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the cornstarch and set aside.
In a second bowl, whisk the egg and set aside.
In the third bowl, combine the ground oats and spices, mix together and set aside.
One at a time, take a piece of marinated tofu and dredge it in the cornstarch, coating all sides of the tofu.
Then, dip into the egg mixture.
Next, coat into the oat crumb mixture.
Place on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake tofu nuggets for 10 minutes; then flip each nugget over and cook for another 10 minutes.
Take baking sheet out of the oven and drizzle honey over the tofu nuggets and sprinkle with sesame seeds, place back in the oven and bake for another 3 minutes or until tofu is golden and crispy. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with a bit of salt.

For the Dipping Sauce

In small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
Taste and adjust for more spice or sweetness.

To Serve

Serve tofu with dipping sauce on the side.
