3/4 cup dashi or water

2 tbsp sake

1 tbsp sugar

1/2-inch piece ginger, minced

Directions:

Cut the tofu into 1-inch thick slabs and drain to remove excess water.

Heat 2 tbsp oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Gently arrange half of the tofu slabs in the skillet in one layer and pan-fry until lightly browned with a crisp, outer skin on each side. Remove tofu and drain on paper towels. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Whisk together miso, dashi, sake and sugar. Return skillet to medium heat and add remaining oil. Stir in the ginger and cook until fragrant. Toss in tofu and pour miso mixture. Reduce the heat to low and cook until tofu has absorbed the flavors of the sauce. 

Stir occasionally until tofu is evenly coated. Add more dashi or water if it gets too dry.
