To make Spicy Tofu in Chili Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 block of firm tofu, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of chili paste
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1/4 cup of chopped scallions

To start, you will need to marinate the tofu in the chili sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili paste, brown sugar, and water. Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and toss to coat. Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Once the tofu is marinated, remove it from the bowl and toss it in cornstarch. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
While the tofu is cooking, prepare the chili sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the garlic and ginger over medium heat until fragrant. Add the remaining marinade to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
To serve, place the crispy tofu on a plate and drizzle the chili sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve hot.
