Ingredients
For the Sauce
- 6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar or more
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 small onion grated
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper
For the Tofu
- 2 (350 grams) blocks extra firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Press the extra firm tofu with your method of choice. I press my tofu without a tofu press by wrapping it in paper towels and placing heavy objects on top.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soy sauces, mirin, brown sugar, grated onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Once the tofu has been pressed, tear the tofu into bite-sized pieces. You can crumble some and keep some larger for different textures.
- Add the sesame oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Try to spread the tofu into a single layer and leave it undisturbed for a minute or two to allow the bottom of the tofu to turn golden. Stir and repeat until the tofu is as golden as you desire.
- Add the sauce to the tofu, and cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and absorbed by the tofu.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
