Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 3 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Small Saucepan
  • kitchen towel

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Press the tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let soak for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu in a single layer; sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. In a small saucepan, strain any solids from the leftover marinade and bring it to a gentle boil for about two minutes until thickened.
  5. Serve the crispy tofu drizzled with the thickened glaze, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
