Step 1

Cut up tofu into equal-size pieces and sprinkle lightly with cornflour (if frying).

Step 2

Heat up oil in a small pan. Fry tofu in hot oil until crispy and lightly coloured on both sides. Blot fried tofu on a piece of paper towel. (2nd OPTION: If you do not want to fry your tofu, you can bake it instead. Do not sprinkle it with cornflour/cornstarch but immerse it in the glaze for 5 minutes instead. Bake it in 180 º C / 360 º F over for about 30-40 minutes and drizzle with more glaze once baked.

Step 3

Mix all the dressing / glaze ingredients together and submerge fried (or baked) tofu pieces in it for 5-10 minutes. Keep the leftover mixture afterwards as it'll double up as dressing too.

Step 4

Divide rice, all the veg and tofu between two bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and finely sliced spring onion. Serve with pickled ginger and the leftover dressing.
