Better-Than-Takeout Sesame Tofu

When I made this for my friend she said, "This is literally better than takeout," and immediately asked for the recipe. This sesame tofu is crispy, flavorful, and drool-worthy. One of the number one comments I hear about tofu is that people don't know how to cook it and that it never turns out right. This is the recipe for you if you want to fall in love with tofu.
