Stir together 1/2 cup water, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp mirin, 4 tsp maple syrup, , 2 Tbsp sesame oil, and 2 tsp ginger in a bowl.
Heat some oil in a pan on high heat and cook the tofu until seared on both sides.
Pour the sauce over the tofu in the pan until the sauce has reduced/evaporated a little.

Top with 2 tsp sesame seeds and 2 Tbsp spring onions
