Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Tofu
Begin by pressing the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.
Make the Teriyaki Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
Cube the Tofu
After pressing, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size.
Cook the Tofu
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil if desired. Once hot, add the cubed tofu in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Thicken the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Once the tofu is browned, pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu and add the cornstarch mixture. Stir gently to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve warm.
