Instructions

  1. 1

    Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

    ~15 min
  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil until well combined.

    ~3 min
  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

    ~10 min
  4. 4

    Add the miso glaze to the pan with the tofu. Toss gently to coat the tofu evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the tofu.

    ~3 min
  5. 5

    Remove the tofu from the pan and thread 3-4 cubes onto each skewer.

    ~2 min
  6. 6

    Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

    ~1 min

Tips
