Add all ingredients for the ginger-miso dressing to a mini food processor and whirl until emulsified and smooth. Add water, a tablespoon at a time, if you need to adjust the consistency to be dressing-drizzly.
Add oil to a heavy bottomed skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add tofu and let sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to get a nice sear. Using a spatula or tongs, toss the tofu, flipping and arranging the pieces so they brown on a second side (any side) about 2-3 minutes (again, let them cook undisturbed so they brown). Drizzle the umami sauce over the tofu, toss again, then toss in the sesame seeds. Remove from heat. Let cool for a minute or two so it’s not piping hot, then add to salad, grain bowl, tacos, sandwiches, etc.
Combine your favorite greens with the pan-seared sesame tofu and the suggested vegetables. Toss with the ginger-miso dressing.
