# Expert Advice:

Crispy outside, tender inside, and ready in 40 minutes with almost no cleanup.
That glaze hits every flavor note at once and tastes so much better than anything you'd order.
Perfect for when you want to impress someone without spending hours in the kitchen.

If your tofu isn't pressed well, you'll end up with soggy nuggets instead of crispy ones—I learned this the hard way and won't make that mistake again.
The glaze thickens slightly as it cools, so toss it with the hot tofu right away, or it'll be too thick to coat everything evenly.
