In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, panko breadcrumbs, and garlic powder.
Toss tofu cubes in the mixture until evenly coated.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread the tofu cubes evenly.
Bake at 400º Fahrenheit for 40 minutes.
While baking, mix vegan mayonnaise, sriracha, sugar, and salt in a bowl to make the bang bang sauce.
Once baked, toss the crispy tofu in the sauce until well coated.
Serve as desired with garnishments like red pepper flakes and chives.
