Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss the pressed tofu cubes with 1 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp cornstarch until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the cubes are golden and firm with slightly crisp edges.
