- While the tofu is cooking, combine honey, garlic and soy sauce in a medium saucepan. In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water, making sure the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
- Add the cornstarch mixture into the honey saucepan and heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened about 2-3 minutes.

- Serve immediately over cooked rice or quinoa, drizzling on any remaining sauce.
