Open the firm tofu, drain off the excess water, and cut it into pieces of your preferred size.

~2 min

Add sesame oil to a frying pan. Pat the surface of the tofu dry with paper towels before adding it to the pan.

~2 min
5
Sear the surface of the tofu over high heat until golden. If the pan starts to smoke, it is too hot, so lower the heat to medium and continue cooking.

Once it has a nice golden color, flip the tofu and sear the other side.

~3 min
7
Once the other side is golden as well, turn off the heat once to prevent spattering. Add the prepared sauce, then return the heat to medium and simmer the tofu.

After simmering for 2 to 3 minutes, flip the tofu once so the flavor penetrates evenly, and simmer the other side.
