Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 425.

Cut the tofu into large flat pieces. Place on a clean dish towel. Fold the towel over and press lightly to take out some of the excess liquid.

Drizzle a splash of soy sauce on to each piece of tofu.

Spread the sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Dip in the tofu pieces, pressing to adhere.

Lightly oil a baking sheet with a drizzle of sesame oil.

Dip the tofu into the oil, flip over and bake for 8 minutes. Flip each piece and continue to bake for another 5-8 minutes until golden on the edges.
