Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Cut the tofu into thin slices and press them gently to remove excess moisture. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tofu

    In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and salt. Mix well and add the sliced tofu to the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu slices and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Aromatics

    Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the tofu is cooked, sprinkle the chopped green onions and minced garlic on top. Serve hot.
