To make this you will need:

For the tofu:

250gr firm tofu
3tbsp cornstarch
1/2tbsp paprika powder
1/2tsp cayenne pepper
1/2tsp pepper
Oil for frying

For the glaze:

1tbsp sesame oil
1tsp ginger
3 garlic cloves

2tbsp soy sauce
1tbsp rice vinegar
1/4tbsp dark soy sauce
1tbsp brown sugar

Cut your block of tofu into bite sized chuncks. Add the tofu to a bowl and add the cornstarch and the herbs for the tofu to this. Mix carefully to combine. Add a layer of oil to a pan (enough to cover the bottom of the pan) and heat this. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the tofu otherwise it won't get as crispy. You can test if the oil is hot enough by adding one of the tofu pieces in and if bubbles start to form around it that means that the oil is hot enough and you can add all of the tofu in. Fry the tofu for 3-5 minutes per side, flipping in between, until golden brown and crispy. Let the tofu leak out on a kitchen paper towel.

For the glaze heat the sesame oil in a pan. Grate the garlic and ginger and saute this in the sesame oil for 1 minute. Mix the rest of the ingredients for the glaze and add them to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes until slighthy thickened and reduced. Lastly add the tofu and mix to combine. You want to add the tofu to the glaze right before serving since the tofu will loose some of it's crispiness the longer it sits in the glaze.

Add some spring onion as garnish and enjoy with some rice or noodles!
