Extra-firm tofu is pressed, cubed, and flash-fried until golden, then coated in a teriyaki glaze simmered with garlic, ginger, kombu, and soy. It’s topped with scallions and toasted sesame seeds, and served with two helpings of teriyaki sauce on the side—for good measure.

Would have given 5 stars if the onions were left off or sent in a package or sauce cup so it wouldn't mingle with the tofu. I have an onion allergy and needed to remove all the small onion pieces.

Tofu was dry and spongy. Too chewy. Sauce was good though.
