1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake (if using), sugar, and grated ginger. Set aside. 2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pressed tofu cubes and pan-fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. 3. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the tofu. Bring to a simmer. 4.
