Instructions

  1. Drain and slice the block of tofu into 5 slices. Place the tofu on a wire rack and drain it for at least 30 minutes. If you want to get this started in the morning, be sure to refrigerate the tofu as it drains.
  2. Mix the soy sauce, sake, and sugar to make the teriyaki sauce.
  3. Pat all sides of the tofu dry with paper towels.
  4. Rub the grated garlic and ginger onto all sides of the tofu and then dust every surface with a generous amount of potato starch.
  5. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Place the tofu in the pan with space between them, so they don't stick together. Pan-fry the tofu until it's browned on one side (3-4 minutes).
  6. Flip the tofu over and brown the second side (another 3-4 minutes).
  7. Use paper towels to wipe out any excess oil from the pan.
  8. Add the teriyaki sauce and glaze the tofu, flipping them over repeatedly until the sauce has thickened and formed a thick glaze around it.
  9. Garnish with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds to serve.
