Thick slabs of pressed tofu seared until deeply golden and crisp, then finished in a sticky teriyaki glaze that lacquers every surface. A plant-based riff on the weeknight staple.

Method
Press the tofu between kitchen paper and a weighted plate for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Cut the pressed tofu into four thick slabs and pat dry.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and lay the tofu slabs in.
Cook for 6 minutes without moving, until deeply golden and crisp on the underside.
Turn the tofu and cook for a further 4 minutes until golden on the second side.
Pour in the teriyaki sauce and simmer for 3 minutes, turning the tofu to coat, until glossy and sticky.
Slice and scatter with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion to serve.
