| 1. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch slices. Spread on clean towels, cover with more towels,and set aside to drain for 1 to 2 hours. The longer the tofu drains, the more marinade it will absorb. | 2. Blend the marinade ingredients and pour into a wide, shallow platter or pan.Lay the tofu slices in the marinade and leave it for one hour.Carefully turn the slices and leave to marinate another hour.The tofu will absorb most of the marinade and become quite fragile. | 3. Lightly toast the sesame seeds and grind in a suribachi. Combine with the flour. Heat a little of the oil in a frying pan. Carefully lift the tofu slices from the marinade, dip them in the flour mixture o coat both sides completely. Fry them a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes on each side over medium heat until the coating is crisp and brown. | 4. Transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan and cook over high heat for a few minutes, stirring, to reduce and thicken. Serve the tofu immediately, topped with a little of the reduced marinade. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
