Place the cubed tofu into a mixing bowl then sprinkle over the corn flour & 5 spice. Mix well, making sure the tofu is evenly coated.

Deglaze the pan with the soy sauce, then add the hoisin, maple syrup & tahini. Stir gently to not break up the tofu but to make sure everything is coated, then let the sauce bubble away and thicken up for 4-5 minutes. Stirring often.
