Step 3
Weigh down the plate with a heavy pot for 5 minutes. Remove the paper towels and repeat the process for another 5 minutes.
Step 4
In the meantime, mix the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, sweetener, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
Step 5
Using one of the plates you used to press the tofu with, combine the coconut flour, sesame seeds, and kosher salt.
Step 6
Press both sides of the tofu slices into this mixture.
Step 7
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.
