Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Tofu
Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch thick slabs.
- 2
Marinate the Tofu
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the tofu slabs to the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
- 3
Cook the Tofu
Heat a non-stick pan or shared fryer over medium-high heat. Remove tofu from the marinade (reserve marinade) and place in the hot pan. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- 4
Glaze the Tofu
Once cooked, pour the reserved marinade over the tofu in the pan and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to glaze.
- 5
Serve
Remove the tofu from the pan and let it cool slightly. Slice into thin pieces, arrange on a plate, and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Season with sea salt to taste.
