- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin or dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 pound firm tofu, patted dry and cut into large dice
- 3 medium shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 pound snow peas
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds

Method
- Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small, nonreactive bowl; set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan over high heat.
- When it smokes, add tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes.
- Remove to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, shallots, and garlic and cook until starting to brown, about 1 minute.
- Add snow peas and sesame seeds and cook, stirring frequently, until peas are bright green, slightly softened, yet still crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Add reserved tofu and soy sauce mixture and cook just until tofu is warm and sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute more.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice.
