Step 1

Press your tofu for at least 10 minutes to drain excess liquid. I like to do this by wrapping the tofu in a towel and placing a heavy flat surface on top. Afterwards, slice tofu into thick 1-inch strips or your shape of choice.

Step 2

Mix sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Feel free to adjust the measurements according to your desired taste. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add some oil to coat the surface. Once hot, add in the sliced tofu. Fry the tofu until lightly brown on all sides. Pour in the sauce mix and then cook the tofu in the sauce over medium heat until it thickens. The sauce will thicken from the sugars of the sauce.

Step 4

Once the tofu has absorbed some of the sauce, turn off the heat.Garnish the tofu with some spring onions and togarashi, if desired. Enjoy warm with some rice.
