Step:
Slice Firm Tofu horizontally in half. Heat a small mount of Oil in a frying pan, and cook Tofu pieces both sides until nicely browned.
To make Miso Pesto, roast or toast nuts and allow them cool. Using Suribachi or mortar & pestle, coarsely crush. Alternatively you can place the toasted nuts in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin. Add other ingredients and mix well.
Cut browned Tofu into smaller pieces and serve with Miso Pesto. It’s a good idea to serve with a small spoon or spreader knife.
