Tofu steak is common home cooking in Japan. It's usually served with mushroom sauce but I used miso sauce this time. You can add some garlic for a little more punch to the plain tofu. This could also be a good salad dressing with some more vinegar and yoghurt. I hope you enjoy.

Cooking Instructions

15 mins
  1. 1

    Drain tofu with paper towels for about 2 hours. I sliced it in half and microwaved 2 mins. Then wrapped with clean paper towels and let them sit in the fridge.

  2. 2

    Place sake, vinegar, ginger, honey and cayenne pepper in a cup. Microwave 1 1/2 mins then mix with the rest of the sauce ingredients and combine well.

  3. 3

    I like the flavour of freshly ground sesame seeds♡ You can use store bought ones, but I recommend to grind by yourself if you have mortar and pestle.

  4. 4

    Cut the drained tofu into quarters and sprinkle potato starch over them.

  5. 5

    Put a pan over medium heat and warm oil. Place the tofu on the pan and cover. Cook about 3 mins, then flip and continue to cook another 2-3 mins or until they get crispy and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Pour the sauce and serve hot!
