1.Press the tofu to remove excess water by wrapping in a clean towel and placing a heavy object on top for 15-20 minutes.

2.Cut the tofu into cubes or slices, depending on your preference.

3.In a bowl, mix the soya sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and water to create the marinade.

6.Cook the tofu until crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.

7.In a small bowl, mix the reserved marinade with cornstarch to create a glaze.

8.Pour the glaze over the tofu in the pan, stirring gently to coat the tofu evenly, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the tofu.

9.Sprinkle sesame seeds over the tofu and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

10.Serve the Umami Glazed Tofu with Soya Sauce hot as a delicious and satisfying vegetarian dish.
