1 onion

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon minced green onion

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Recipe

Slice the tofu into thick pieces and remove excess moisture with a paper towel.
Thinly slice the onion and finely mince the green onion.
Mix the measured amounts of soy sauce, minced green onion, and sesame oil to make the seasoning sauce.
Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the sliced onion until sweet and still crunchy, then set aside.
Reheat the pan with a generous amount of oil and fry the tofu until golden brown on both sides.
Once the tofu is cooked, lower the heat and spread the prepared sauce evenly over the tofu to let the flavors soak in.
When the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, turn off the heat. Transfer to a plate and generously top with the stir-fried onion garnish.

Slice the tofu after draining water, and slice and stir-fry the onion.
Fry the tofu until golden, then add the sauce and simmer until slightly reduced.
Top the braised tofu with the stir-fried onion garnish to finish.

Cooking tips

If you stir-fry the onion too long it will wilt, so quickly stir-fry over high heat to keep it crunchy and delicious.
By simmering the soy sauce in oil without adding water, you bring out the tofu's natural nuttiness and umami.
