ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb firm tofu, drained
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1⁄2 cup water or 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon miso (I used yellow miso)
- 1 scallion, sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons fresh watercress leaves or 2 tablespoons fresh daikon sprouts
- black sesame seed
directions
- Cut the tofu into 4 rectangular pieces and remove the excess moisture by placing heavy pans directly on top of the tofu. Let stand about 20 minutes.
- Heat both oils up in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the tofu on all sides to seal.
- Place the tofu on a serving platter.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger and water (or broth). Just before the mixture comes to a boil, whisk in the miso.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked tofu. Garnish with scallions, watercress or daikon sprouts, and the black sesame seeds.
- Can be served hot or at room temperature.

This made a pleasant lught sauce. My only niggle with it is that the sauce has the consistency of water and didn't really flavour my tofu at all. I served mine on a bed of noodles but agree brown rice would be better. I don't think it's one I would make again myself but I would add some cornstarch to thicken the sauce up next time.
