1. start by pressing the water out of your tofu, i personally just use my hands to squeeze the water out of my tofu but you can use a tofu press if you prefer.
   cut your block of tofu into small cubes, about 1 inch each.
2. toss your tofu cubes into a container with just enough corn starch to cover and add the pinch of salt as well. close the container and shake well so all the tofu cubes are covered with corn starch.
3. pan fry your tofu cubes in some vegan butter until dehydrated.
4. in a small bowl add the soy sauce, spices, peking duck sauce, maple syrup and lemon juice and mix together
5. put your fire on low and add the peking glaze mix in the pan with your tofu. bake until the paking glaze has turned sticky
6. serve with veggies of your choice!
