1
Prepare Tofu
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a weight on top to press out excess moisture for about 15 minutes.
2
Cut Tofu
After pressing, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
3
Marinate Tofu
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Add the tofu cubes and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4
Cook Tofu
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally.
5
Serve
Once cooked, remove from heat. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and black pepper before serving.
