Description

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1 container (about 14 oz or 400g) silken or medium firm tofu
• 1 green onion, finely sliced
• Dried bonito shavings
• Sesame seeds
• Togarashi (chili pepper)

Directions

• Place vegetable oil and garlic in a small microwave safe dish. Cook for 1½ minutes on high.
• Remove from microwave. Add soy sauce and mirin. Stir to combine.
• Remove tofu from container. Drain and place tofu in a separate microwave safe dish. Place the tofu in the microwave. Cook for 5 minutes at 80% power. Reducing the power level prevents tofu from bursting or exploding during cooking. Alternatively, you can steam tofu in a steamer for 5 minutes.
• Pour oil and sauce mixture over tofu. Garnish with spring onions and optional toppings (if using).
