Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons ginger, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
Sesame Tofu
1 lb tofu, firm
1 egg white
1/2 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil

1
Cut tofu into 1/2 inch thick slices, lay flat on a towel to dry out.
2
Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
3
Marinate tofu in 1/2 to 3/4 of the dipping sauce for a couple hours. (The original recipe says to marinate for thirty minutes, but I did it overnight to maximize flavour).
4
Remove tofu from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel (I skipped this step).
5
Dip tofu in beaten egg white then coat with sesame seeds.
6
Brown tofu slices on each side over medium heat in a non-stick pan with olive oil until sesame seeds are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side (The recipe says two minutes per side, but I found it took much longer).
7
Serve with remaining dipping sauce.
