Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Tofu
Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Make Teriyaki Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 3
Coat the Tofu
Place the cubed tofu in a bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss gently to coat each piece evenly.

Fry the Tofu
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated tofu cubes in a single layer and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine and Serve
Once the tofu is golden, lower the heat and pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu. Toss gently to coat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
