1. 1 Wrap the tofu in 2 layers of paper towels and place on a plate. Put another plate on top of the tofu to weigh it down and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until drained.
2. 2 After microwaving, carefully unwrap the tofu and slice into ½-1 inch cubes. Pat each cube dry.
3. 3 In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and cook on all sides until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per side, then remove from the pan and set aside.

6. 6 Add the garlic, ginger, and remaining ½ teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir until softened.
