Ingredients
1 (14-ounce) block extra firm tofu
1 tablespoon white miso
6 tablespoons warm water
3 tablespoons finely grated ginger
Vegetable oil for frying
Scallions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Drain and rinse tofu. Cut into 6 slices. Place tofu slices between clean kitchen towels (or paper towels) on a dish or cutting board. Gently press to remove excess water.
In a small bowl, mix together miso, water, and ginger.
Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet. Fry tofu until golden on both sides. Reduce heat to low.
Pour miso mixture over and between tofu slices and cook until sizzling.
Just before serving, garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
