1/2 lb firm tofu, drained
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon tamari
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon miso (I used yellow miso)
1 scallion, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons fresh watercress leaves or 2 tablespoons fresh daikon sprouts

1
Cut the tofu into 4 rectangular pieces and remove the excess moisture by placing heavy pans directly on top of the tofu. Let stand about 20 minutes.
2
Heat both oils up in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the tofu on all sides to seal.
3
Place the tofu on a serving platter.
4
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger and water (or broth). Just before the mixture comes to a boil, whisk in the miso.
5
Pour the sauce over the cooked tofu. Garnish with scallions, watercress or daikon sprouts, and the black sesame seeds.
6
Can be served hot or at room temperature.
