Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F and spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside until ready to use.

Add the milk, flour, and spices to a large bowl. Whisk together until you have a thick batter. Add the tofu chunks to the bowl and gently mix until the tofu is completely coated in the batter.

Pour the panko over the tofu and carefully mix until the tofu is coated with panko. The panko should stick pretty well to the tofu, but you can also use your fingers to press it on if there are any parts of the tofu lacking in the batter.

Carefully dump the tofu onto the greased pan. Use your hands to spread out the tofu, making sure it’s in a single layer and not stuck together. Spray the top of the tofu with more cooking spray and place in the oven. Bake tofu golden brown and crispy, 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Make the honey garlic sauce while the tofu is baking. Add all sauce ingredients to a medium bowl, or jar, and mix together well. Heat a large pan over medium heat and pour in the sauce. Cook sauce, stirring regularly, until thickened and can coat the back of a spoon, 3-5 minutes.

Add in the crispy baked tofu into the pan with the sauce and mix together with the sauce, until tofu is completely coated. Turn the heat off and garnish with thinly sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with veggies and rice, or grain of choice.
