Instructions

1. Place a kitchen towel on a plate then wrap the tofu block with the towel, carefully squeezing it to let excess water out. * you could “press the tofu” properly, but I don’t like the wait 😅 don’t mind the texture!
2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat pan. Add the cubed tofu to the pan and let fry for 3 minutes. Flipping the tofu as needed to brown all sides.
3. Meanwhile in a bowl combine tamari, maple syrup, water, vinegar, garlic powder and sesame seeds. Whisk together to combine.
4. Add the prepared sauce to the tofu and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. When the tofu is caramelized, remove to a plate.
