Instructions
Bake or fry the wontons. To fry, heat vegetable oil to 360°F and fry, in batches, 15 to 20 seconds on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Sprinkle with salt, if desired. To bake, spray or brush each side with oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400°F for about 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Combine the mayo and sriracha and set aside until ready to use
Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat the tofu cubes in cornstarch. Add the tofu and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
For the Hawaiian BBQ sauce, mix all ingredients together in a small pan. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, or until thickened, stirring often.
Add ½ cup of the Hawaiian BBQ sauce to the tofu and stir to coat.
Arrange the wontons on a serving platter and top with tofu, extra Hawaiian BBQ sauce, spicy mayo, and any other toppings you'd like. We added avocado, cilantro, pickled red onion, jalapeño, and furikake.
