Cut a block of extra firm tofu into thirds. Place two of the blocks into a glass container filled with water and put those in the fridge for another recipe.
With the remaining piece of tofu, cut it lengthwise and place each half on a paper towel inside a dish cloth (or in a tofu press). Cover this with a book and let it press for about 30 minutes.
While the tofu is being pressed, mix the honey garlic glaze.
After 30 minutes, cut the now pressed blocks into cubes and roll them in a bowl of cornstarch or arrowroot powder.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium to high heat. When drops of water sizzle, it' ready for the tofu.
Place each tofu cube in the pan, turning each one every minute or so until nicely browned.
Turn off the heat and add the sauce to the pan, covering the tofu.
