These tasty tofu steaks with a sesame crust are a great vegetarian substitute for conventional meat dishes. The savory teriyaki sauce goes well with the crispy outside covered in nutty sesame seeds.
Ingredients: 2 blocks firm tofu, sliced into steaks. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 2 tablespoons rice vinegar. 2 tablespoons brown sugar. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon grated ginger. 2 tablespoons sesame oil. 1/4 cup sesame seeds. 2 green onions, thinly sliced. Cooking oil for frying.
Instructions: Press tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger to make the teriyaki sauce. Coat tofu steaks with teriyaki sauce and let marinate for 15-30 minutes. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. In a shallow dish, spread sesame seeds. Press marinated tofu steaks into sesame seeds to coat both sides. Fry tofu steaks in sesame oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve hot, garnished with green onions, and with extra teriyaki sauce on the side.
