Drain and press the tofu. If you don't have a tofu press, place the tofu in between a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top, like a cast iron skillet. Let sit for 15 minutes to get the excess water out.
Mix hoisin sauce, ginger, tamari, brown rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Taste the marinade to see if it needs maple syrup. Add it if needed. Slice tofu and add it to the marinade. Marinate for an hour to overnight.
In a non-stick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place marinated tofu in a pan along with a few spoonfuls of the marinade, and cook until golden brown on each side.
Serve over rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, or noodles.
Notes
You may or may not need maple syrup. It depends on the brand of hoisin sauce you buy and how sweet it is.Since there is toasted sesame oil in this recipe, you will need to cook the tofu on medium heat. High heat will give sesame oil a bitter burnt taste.You may want to double the marinade, depending on how you use the tofu and much sauce you like on things.This recipe will last about 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
