Prep: Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Tear the tofu into 1” bite-sized chunks for a more meat-like shape and texture (recommended), or cut into small cubes. Set aside.
Season the Tofu: In a large bowl whisk the oil, milk, vinegar, sriracha, garlic powder, and onion powder together until combined. Add the tofu to the bowl and gently mix with a spatula until evenly coated – to prevent breakage I recommend pressing the spatula down the side of the bowl, then gently “scooping” the tofu up. Sprinkle the cornstarch on top and mix again. Transfer to a baking sheet and spread out the tofu pieces so they aren’t touching. Bake on the top rack of the oven for 30 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through.
Sauce: In the meantime add the mayo, sweet chili sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sriracha to a small bowl and whisk until combined. Add more sriracha to taste, if desired.
Serve: Remove the tofu from the oven and transfer to a serving dish or skewers. Drizzle with the bang bang sauce, then sprinkle green onion on top. Serve immediately.
