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
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil until well combined.
~3 min - 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
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
Remove the tofu from the pan and thread 3-4 cubes onto each skewer.
~2 min - 6
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
