To Prepare Teriyaki Tofu

- 4. Evenly coat each slice of tofu with cornstarch. Place on wax or parchment paper-lined sheet tray or pan.
- 5. Preheat a large sauté pan to medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan.
- 6. Place seasoned tofu in the pan. Do not crowd the pan for ease of turning tofu. Pan sear each slice for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning and browning evenly while heating through. Allow cooling before using.
