Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to broil and line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. Combine all sauce ingredients except tofu and oil using a blender or mixer; slowly add oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy, then pour it into a wide bowl.

  3. Slice tofu into 1/2-inch-thick pieces and coat them with a thin layer of the miso mixture, reserving some sauce.

  4. Arrange tofu pieces on the prepared cookie sheet and broil for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp.

  5. Flip the tofu pieces, baste them with the reserved miso mixture, and broil for another 8 to 10 minutes until browned and crisp; sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired before serving.
