Instructions
- Place the tofu in a press (or follow my instructions in the post) to remove excess moisture. Slice into steaks. I just made a single serving with two slices. Double the entire recipe to make another serving.
- Mix together the sesame seeds, salt and Panko breadcrumbs.
- Using a pastry brush, coat the tofu steak with Dijon mustard and then coat with the sesame seed/Panko mixture.
- Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add oil. Add the tofu steaks and cook until golden on the first side. Flip and repeat.
- Serve over green beans with lemon wedges. Season the green beans with salt and pepper. Add a sauce like Sriracha or your favorite sauce, if desired.
- Garnish with scallions/green onions.
