Sesame Tofu With Dipping Sauce

• Dipping Sauce
• 1/2 cup vegetable stock
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons ginger, peeled and minced
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• salt and pepper
• Sesame Tofu
• 1 lb tofu, firm
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

1. Cut tofu into 1/2 inch thick slices, lay flat on a towel to dry out.
2. Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
3. Marinate tofu in 1/2 to 3/4 of the dipping sauce for a couple hours. (The original recipe says to marinate for thirty minutes, but I did it overnight to maximize flavour).
4. Remove tofu from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel (I skipped this step).
5. Dip tofu in beaten egg white then coat with sesame seeds.
6. Brown tofu slices on each side over medium heat in a non-stick pan with olive oil until sesame seeds are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side (The recipe says two minutes per side, but I found it took much longer).
7. Serve with remaining dipping sauce.
