Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cubed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
2 medium shallots, finely minced, divided
½ bunch green onions, sliced, divided
vegetable oil for pan-frying
¼ cup champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon chili oil

Steps:

Toss the tofu with lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce in a small bowl, set aside to marinate.
Combine the cornstarch and bread crumbs with 1 minced shallot and half of the green onions in a bowl. Toss the tofu with the cornstarch mixture to generously bread; reserve the remaining marinade.
