How to make Keto Vegan Sesame Crusted Tofu

Slice a block of tofu in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 3 long strips to make 6 strips.
Line a plate with a couple of paper towels, place the tofu on top and then place a couple more paper towels and another plate.
Weigh down the plate with a heavy pot for 5 minutes. Remove the paper towels and repeat the process for another 5 minutes.
In the meantime, mix the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, sweetener, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
Using one of the plates you used to press the tofu with, combine the coconut flour, sesame seeds, and kosher salt.
Press both sides of the tofu slices into this mixture.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in 1 T avocado oil. Add the tofu and turn down the heat slightly and cook on both sides until browned about 1-2 minutes per side. Once all the tofu is browned remove to a plate.
Add in the tamari mixture and reduce it down by half.
Add in the seared tofu slices and flip to coat them in the sauce. Drizzle with sesame seed oil. Serve immediately.
