2. Place the drained tofu on its side and cut into three equal squares, then in half into triangles. Cut each triangle in half again to make 12. Pat dry and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown rice syrup, shoyu, sake or mirin, apple juice or cider, and toasted sesame oil.
4. Heat the remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook on each side, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes. Add the sauce and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is syrupy and coats the tofu, about 15 minutes.
