Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 slices Extra Firm Tofu **double the entire recipe to make more than one serving

FOR THE SESAME PANKO MIXTURE:

  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 3 tbsp Panko Bread Crumbs these are unseasoned
  • 1 tbsp White Sesame Seeds
  • 1 1-2 tsp Black Sesame Seeds you can use all white if you can't find these

TO PREPARE:

  • 2 tbsp Oil for pan frying
  • 1-2 tbsp Dijon Mustard

FOR SERVING:

  • Green Beans rinsed, trimmed and steamed until crisp tender
  • Lemon wedges for green beans
  • Salt and Pepper to taste, for green beans
  • Scallions cut
  • Sriracha optional

Instructions

  • Place the tofu in a press (or follow my instructions in the post) to remove excess moisture. Slice into steaks. I just made a single serving with two slices. Double the entire recipe to make another serving.
  • Mix together the sesame seeds, salt and Panko breadcrumbs.
  • Using a pastry brush, coat the tofu steak with Dijon mustard and then coat with the sesame seed/Panko mixture.
  • Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add oil. Add the tofu steaks and cook until golden on the first side. Flip and repeat.
  • Serve over green beans with lemon wedges. Season the green beans with salt and pepper. Add a sauce like Sriracha or your favorite sauce, if desired.
  • Garnish with scallions/green onions.
