INGREDIENTS
400g firm tofu 
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp mild chili flakes (Urfa, Aleppo, gochugaru, etc) 
1/2 tsp fine salt

METHOD
Nguyen your tofu: boil a liter of water and pour it over your tofu blocks, making sure they're submerged. Leave them for 15 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Use a box grater to grate the tofu into a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, cornstarch, chili flakes, and salt until well mixed. Spread out in one layer on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. After 30 minutes of baking, add the soy sauce then bake for 5 minutes more.
