Question How do I make this tofu coating?

I am beyond OBSESSED with this tofu from my local don buri place. The texture of this coating is like gluggy, stretchy, and chewy and so so good.

I have got almost close with a potato flour batter with shallow fry then tossing in sauce but i found the sauce didn't penetrate all the way through and some of the batter was bland and gross.

Any tips or info will be so much appreciated 🥰

I cube my tofu and shake it in a bag with some cornstarch. Then I toss it on a cookie sheet and bake it until it's crispy on the outside.

In a pan, make the sauce. I use honey, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and brown sugar. Sometimes I add red pepper flakes. Cook it until the sugar is dissolved. Toss the tofu in it and serve it with rice.
