1tsp.sesame oil
1Tbsp.brown sugar
2tsp.seasoned rice vinegar
1tsp.minced garlic
1/2tsp.grated fresh ginger
1/4tsp.crushed red pepperoptional
2green onionsminced
vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
Cut the tofu into slices 1/2" thick. Blot the slices on a few layers of clean paper towels. Cut each slice in half again so that the slices are now 1/4" thick. Cut the 1/4" slices on the diagonal to make triangles.
In a shallow bowl mix everything else together except the green onions, vegetable oil and sesame seeds.
Heat a nonstick skillet with a drizzle of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu triangles in a single layer and pour the marinade over. Flip tofu pieces to coat and continue to flip as needed until both sides are a nice golden brown.
Transfer the cooked triangles to a plate. Garnish with the minced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
Leftovers (if you have them) can be refrigerated and warmed gently in a frying pan or the microwave.
