Instructions
 

  • Drain and press tofu as described above.
  • Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together to make the glaze.
  • Once the tofu is drained and pressed, cut into thick cubes about 2 inches wide and thick.
  • Carefully add tofu to the bowl with the glaze and gently toss together to marinate for another 30 minutes. You don't want the tofu to break apart here.
  • After marinating, spray or drizzle a large non stick fry pan with cooking oil.
  • Heat the pan on medium high, then place the tofu into the pan.
  • Pan fry for about 5 min per side or until tofu looks browned and crispy. Repeat the process on the other side.
  • Transfer tofu to a platter and top with more glaze, scallions and additional toppings if desired.
