American Deli-Style Marinated Sweet and Salty Tofu

• 1 block Firm tofu (large)
• 2 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sugar or honey
• 1 tsp Grated ginger
• 1 tsp Minced garlic
• 1 Sesame seeds
• 1 cup Katakuriko

1. Put a weight on top of the firm tofu to drain the excess water.
2. You can omit this step, but if you prefer tofu served with a firmer texture, I'd recommend this step.
3. Cut the tofu into 2-3 cm thick triangles.
4. Boil all the ingredients except for the tofu in a pan and remove from heat.
5. Taste and if the flavor is too strong, add vinegar or some water.
6. In a plastic bag, add katakuriko and tofu, and coat the tofu with katakuriko.
7. Deep-fry the tofu over medium heat until all sides are crisp.
8. Drain off any excess oil from the deep-fried tofu.
9. Add the tofu to the pan from Step 3, and coat well with the sauce.
10. Sprinkle on sesame seeds to garnish.
