Instructions

1. Thaw the frozen tofu to room temperature, squeeze out the water and cut it into 4 slabs. If using fresh tofu, drain as much water as possible before slicing.
2. Bruise the green onion stalks and cilantro sprigs with the flat of a knife, put them in a bowl with the remaining marinade ingredients and stir.
3. Add the tofu slabs and rub the marinade all over them.
4. Mix the rice flour and water into a thick paste.
5. Coat the marinated tofu with a thin layer of this batter and set aside for a few minutes.
6. Spread sesame seeds on a flat plate and press them onto all sides of the tofu.
7. Heat a non-stick pan with about 1 cm of oil. When hot, slide in the tofu and shallow-fry until golden brown on all sides.
8. Drain the tofu on paper towels.
9. For the sauce, heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick pan and sauté the chopped green onions until fragrant.
10. Lower the heat and add the soy sauce, water, sugar and white pepper, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat, stir in a swirl of toasted sesame oil, and strain into a bowl.
11. Slice the tofu to the size you like and serve with the sauce.
