Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes. This step ensures your tofu absorbs more flavor and achieves a better texture when cooked.
2. 2.
   While tofu is pressing, prepare the glaze by combining the soy sauce, fresh lime juice, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened.
3. 3.
   Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook them for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides. Patience is key here to achieve an even, crispy exterior.
4. 4.
   Once the tofu is golden, pour the prepared ginger-lime glaze into the skillet. Stir continuously, ensuring each tofu cube is well coated. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the glaze thickens and clings to the tofu with a shiny finish.
5. 5.
   Remove the tofu from the heat and let it rest for a minute. This brief resting period allows the flavors to fully develop and makes the tofu easier to plate. Serve immediately and enjoy this savory delight with your choice of side dish. If the glaze becomes too thick, add a splash of water and stir to reach desired consistency.
