Make your whipped cream from scratch. Use 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and beat it with a bit of powdered sugar and some vanilla until stiff peaks form. If you use real whipped cream in your lush, serve this the same day you make it. Otherwise, the cream will start to lose its air and will fall. You can also make stabilized whipped cream with some gelatin.
Press* and cube your tofu, then preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Mix together tofu ingredients and gently toss cubes in and coat evenly.
Assemble on a baking tray covered in parchment paper so none are touching, then bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned.
For the sauce, add soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic powder** to a pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, then remove from heat.
Mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved. Slowly pour in while whisking constantly until combined. Return pan to heat and cook for 2 more minutes until thickened, whisking constantly.
Pour half of the sauce onto the tofu and mix to coat.
Serve tofu over rice with sesame seeds, green onion and extra sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy!
Notes
*Press your tofu with a tofu press or by wrapping the block in a towel and placing something somewhat heavy - heavy enough to drain the liquid out of the tofu but not so heavy it squishes the block.
**If you'd like to use fresh, use 1 tsp fresh minced ginger and 1 clove garlic and before step 4, add to the pan with the sesame oil and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and then follow step 4.

Nastrouháme kůru z citrónu a vymačkáme z něho šťávu.
Na pánvi s nepřilnavým dnem restujeme cuketové nudle s citrónovou kůrou za průběžného míchání do stavu, kdy již nejsou syrové, ale nejsou ani rozvařené.
Cuketu přendáme do mísy a na pánev dáme krevety nejlépe tak, aby byly v jedné vrstvě.
Jakmile jsou krevety rozmražené přidáme nasekaný česnek, sůl a pepř na dochucení restujeme na každé straně cca další 1 minutu.
