Cooking:
6
Crispy garlic: Heat oil in a non stick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until golden and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7
Cook tofu: Turn heat up to medium-high. Place tofu in skillet and cook for 1 1/⏱️ 2 minutes until the sesame smells nutty and becomes crisp. Turn carefully and cook the other side for 1 1/⏱️ 2 minutes. Then use tongs to prop the tofu steaks up on its sides to sear the edges until crisp - about ⏱️ 30 seconds each side should do it (see video for my technique).
8
Drain: Remove tofu to paper towel lined plate.
9
Teriyaki Sauce: Lower heat to medium then add Teriyaki Sauce ingredients. Simmer for ⏱️ 1 minute until it reduces to a syrupy consistency, then remove skillet from stove.
10
Serve: Place tofu steak on plate. Spoon over Teriyaki Sauce (it clings to sesame, don't worry, crust stays crispy). Sprinkle with garlic and green onion. Devour, then declare, "I LOVE TOFU!!".
