Instructions

    Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

    ~5 min
  2. 2

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

    ~2 min
  3. 3

    Add the tofu cubes to the bowl with the glaze and gently toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 5 minutes.

    ~5 min
  4. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the glazed tofu cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

  5. 5

    Pan-fry the tofu for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.

    ~8 min
  6. 6

    Thread the fried tofu cubes onto skewers.

    ~3 min
  7. 7

    Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Tips

  • For extra crispy tofu, consider coating the marinated cubes lightly in cornstarch before frying.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven.
