1. Place the diced tofu in a bowl. Add the cornstarch and mix well until the tofu is well coated.

3. During the cooking time, mix together the maple syrup, soja sauce, ginger and, if desired, the sriracha.
4. Pour the sauce over the tofu. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes or until there is no more liquid in the wok. Add a pinch of salt.
