- Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
- When the oil is heated, lay out the cut tofu as shown and fry the tofu about 5 min. on each side until lightly browned.
- While the tofu is being cooked, make the sauce and set it aside.
- Layer the fried tofu slices and sliced onions into a shallow pot.
- Pour the prepared soy mirin sauce mixture onto the tofu stack. Make sure the sauce is distributed evenly throughout.
- Turn on heat to medium and wait until it starts to bubble. Immedicately reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 17-20 min until the sauce is mostly gone. Be sure to check after 10 min or so to see if there's enough sauce. Stop cooking if the sauce ia fully reduced.

Notes
- Any leftover can be stored in the fridge for days and can be eaten cold with warm rice. Cold Dubu Jorim tastes totally different so you HAVE TO try it! Also great for lunch boxes for kids.
