  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet on medium-high heat, add oil and wait a few minutes until hot. Place pieces of tofu in the pan at least 1" apart and fry around 2-3 minutes on each side or golden brown. When cooked, place on a paper towel lined plate until all are cooked.

Teriyaki Sauce

  1. Dilute cornstarch and water and set aside.

  2. Place rest of teriyaki ingredients in a small pot on medium-high heat. When starts to boil, add diluted cornstarch and stir for about 1 minute until slightly thickens.

  3. To toast sesame seeds, place in a small skillet on medium heat and keep stirring until starts to get brown & toasty.

  4. When ready to serve, re-heat tofu in oven or air fryer for a few minutes. Heat teriyaki sauce and stir tofu into teriyaki sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds.
