Sauce
- In a bowl: combine all the ingredients together and mix. Set aside until ready to use.
Pan Fry Tofu
- Cut the tofu into 8 pieces. Using paper towels, gently press down on each tofu to remove excess liquid.
- Heat the non-stick pan to medium-high. Add oil and wait for 30-45 seconds. Pan fry the tofu for 6-8 minutes (flip occasionally) or until all sides are golden and crisp.
- Add sauce mixture to the pan. Turn down the heat to medium and cook/simmer for 3-4 minutes or until tofu has absorbed ~half of the liquid. Make sure to flip and rotate the tofu during cooking for best results. Add chopped green onions and mix. Remove from heat source.
