6. Combine and Season:

   • Return the crispy tofu to the pan with the vegetables.
   • Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Toss everything together until well-coated. Taste and add some water if you find this is too salty or al little more dashi if you are keen for more flavour.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

   • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
   • Serve the crispy tofu stir fry over rice or noodles.
