Recipe: Fried Tofu and Sesame Soy Sauce

FRIED TOFU

Just slice the tofu into a little bit bigger than a 1/4-inch long pieces and fry them until they are crispy and lightly browned.

SAUCE FOR FRIED TOFU

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar (add more for taste if you want to)
1 teaspoon of vinegar (rice wine vinegar is preferred)
1 clove garlic, chopped (or as many as you like)
1 tablespoon very thinly sliced onion (for flavor)
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (either ground up or by the seed)

Combine all ingredients for the sauce. Add one ice cube for thinning out the salty flavor of the soy sauce and also to eat the fried tofu with a cool (temperature wise) dip.
