Miso-Ginger Slaw:

Sesame Crusted Tofu:

Toss the tofu squares in cornstarch, pressing to adhere. Drizzle ¼ cup of dressing over the tofu, tossing to coat. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the tofu, turning the squares to get seeds on all sides. Heat the Spotlight™ Oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, until shimmering. Add the tofu and fry on all sides, about a minute on each side, until the whole square is crisp and golden.

To Serve:

Line a tray with the slider buns. Put a tablespoon of sriracha aioli on the bottom of each bun. Add the crispy tofu, then the slaw. Spread a little more sriracha aioli on the top bun, place the bun on top and serve.
