📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cut tofu into 1-inch chunks. Line a 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with two layers of paper towels. Spread tofu over paper towels and let drain for ⏱️ 15 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
2
For the sauce in a mixing bowl whisk together water with 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch. Add in soy sauce, mirin, maple syrup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic and whisk until blended.

3
Lay another layer of paper towels over tofu and gently press to remove more moisture. Pull the paper towel from underneath the tofu, leaving the tofu on the now bare baking sheet and placing the tofu fairly close together.
4
Dust 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch over tofu, turn and dust opposite side with 1 1/2 Tbsp tofu and gently toss.

5
Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu until golden brown all over, about ⏱️ 10 minutes (be careful it may splatter a bit as it cooks so stand back).
6
Transfer tofu to baking sheet lined with a paper towel to drain.
7
Let pan cool off heat briefly (about ⏱️ 15 seconds) then return to medium-low heat, whisk soy sauce mixture once more and pour into pan. Cook and whisk until thickened, about ⏱️ 30 seconds.
8
Add tofu and cook about ⏱️ 20 seconds longer until sauce is thick and tofu is coated.
9
Serve right away garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
