Transform tofu into a flavor-packed dish with miso marinade and a crunchy sesame crust, perfect for anyone seeking plant-based inspiration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 1/4 cup white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds (white or a mix of white and black)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Slice the pressed tofu into 1-inch thick steaks. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Place the tofu steaks in a shallow dish and pour the miso marinade over them, ensuring each steak is well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Combine the panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in a separate bowl.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Remove the tofu steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and coat each steak in the panko-sesame mixture.
  7. Carefully add the coated tofu steaks to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Transfer the cooked tofu steaks to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

Patting the tofu dry before marinating ensures flavors penetrate and prevents sogginess. Experiment with the marinade for different flavors.
