• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
• Drain the liquid from the two blocks of tofu. Using a kitchen towel or paper towels, press any excess moisture out from the tofu. This will help the tofu to get crispy once baked in the oven.
• Next, you will want to slice the tofu in half lengthwise. Then, slice it in half again widthwise. You will be left with four evenly sized rectangles.
• The final cut will run from the top left corner of each rectangle to the bottom right corner.
• You will be left with 8 tofu pieces that are triangular in shape.
• Repeat this process for the second block of tofu.
• Grab a plate and add the cornstarch, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
• Once all of the tofu is sliced, you will run the tofu triangles through the cornstarch mixture. Make sure each side is well coated.
• Place the breaded tofu pieces on the prepared baking tray.
• Gently spray the tofu with olive oil cooking spray and place it in the oven for 40 minutes.
• Make sure to turn the tofu halfway through baking and spray them again with the cooking spray.

Prepare the sauce:

• While the tofu is getting crispy in the oven, we will prepare the balsamic soy sauce.
• In a saucepan, add the soy sauce, golden balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced or fine chopped garlic and cornstarch. Stir until well combined and simmer over medium / low heat.
• I used bagged green beans and cooked them al dente. The package called for 3 minutes in the microwave, but I only did 2 because they will continue to soften in the pan with the sauce.

Assemble the dish:

• Once the green beans are slightly soft, add them to the sauce and continue to stir everything together until the sauce begins to thicken. I would wait until the tofu is almost ready so the beans do not get too soft!
• Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the oven and toss it in the sauce with the green beans.
• Toss everything together in the saucepan until the beans and tofu are well coated in the balsamic soy sauce.
• Spoon everything onto a platter, serve hot and enjoy!
