Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Using a clean tea towel, firmly press the block of Extra Firm Tofu (1.3 lb) to remove the excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch slices. Then cut in half (around 2-3 inches across).
Step 2
To make the marinade, mix Soy Sauce (1/2 cup) , Rice Vinegar (1/4 cup) , Mirin (1/4 cup) , and Sesame Oil (1/2 Tbsp) in a large zip-top bag.
Step 3
Add the tofu slices, close the bag, and gently move the tofu around to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, periodically turning the bag to coat all sides if the tofu.
Step 4
Remove the tofu from the marinade and remove the excess moisture by pressing each piece firmly between several paper towels.
Step 5
To set up your dipping station, beat Egg (1) with 1 tablespoon of water in a bowl. In a separate bowl, add Panko Breadcrumbs (1/2 cup) , White Sesame Seeds (1/4 cup) , Black Sesame Seeds (1/4 cup) , and stir to combine.
Step 6
Working with one slice at a time, dip the tofu in the egg mixture, being sure to coat the entire piece.
Step 7
Transfer the tofu to the panko-sesame mixture, turning and pressing to coat.
Step 8
Transfer the sesame crusted slices to a large dish and momentarily set aside.
Step 9
Over medium-high heat, add enough Vegetable Oil (as needed) to cover the bottom of a heavy-bottomed skillet. Once hot, add the tofu slices in batches. Cook 2-3 minutes (or until golden-brown) on the first side.
Step 10
Gently turn the tofu slices and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown.
Step 11
Lift the tofu out of the skillet and allow them to cool on a plate lined with a few paper towels.
Step 12
As the tofu is cooling, make the dipping sauce by combining juice from Limes (2) , Fish Sauce (2 Tbsp) , Mirin (1/2 Tbsp) and Scallions (2 Tbsp) in a small bowl.
Step 13
Once cool enough to handle, slice each tofu piece into bite-sized pieces.
Step 14
Garnish with finely sliced Scallions (1 bunch) serve with the dipping sauce.
