  I usually struggle to cook successfully with tofu but this was very easy, tasty and quick. The mixture of sesame, chilli, spring onions, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sugar was balanced just right for me, giving heat, depth & sweetness. Fabulous!!

  I used a tablespoon of mirin instead of sugar and it worked just as well. It took a lot longer than 2 minutes per side to get the tofu nice and golden though, maybe I didn't have it on a high enough heat though.
