How to Make Amber's Japan Style Tofu Meal
- Press the tofu to remove excess water. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy exterior.
- While the tofu is pressing, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and add them to the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the tofu and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the scallions and sesame seeds. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Serve hot over rice or quinoa, garnished with extra sesame seeds and a sprinkle of chili flakes (optional).
