Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 2 steaks

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces medium-firm tofu
• flour for sprinkling
• cooking oil
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 inch piece of daikon, peeled
• 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled

Steps:

1. Slice the tofu block in half so you have 2 large thinner pieces.

 
2. Wrap each tofu piece in a paper towel.

 
3. Use a flat board or large plate to press down on the wrapped tofu to expel their water. Alternatively, you can also place the wrapped tofu pieces in the microwave for 3 minutes on high. Let them sit a minute as they will be steamy.
