In-home D&D... Is this real life?

Holy. Smokes. I seriously don't think a recipe has ever gone so well for me. Nor do I think I've ever followed a recipe (provided by one of my friends who works behind the D&D food counter) so intently. Go me.
Yesterday I made this Dean & Deluca sesame sweet chili tofu. SO TASTY. The seaweed salad is pre-made from Costco and it's totally delicious & you would never believe it was packaged, but it has nothing on this freaking tofu.

RECIPE [in my own, possibly very confusing, words]:
3 T Canola oil
1 brick of firm-super firm tofu cut into bite-sized cubes
6 T Sweet chili sauce (most grocery stores but I got mine at Trader Joe's)
Black or mixed sesame seeds
1 diced sweet Vidalia onion
Chopped green onions (depends on how much you like them, I used the entire bundle from the store & that was a LOT)
1 T olive oil
1/2 t Lawry's seasoned salt
1 t ground pepper
1/2-1 t chili flakes (to taste)
1 fire extinguisher (hot oil... you never know!)

Perform directions for tofu and onions simultaneously:
Tofu - In a large nonstick pan, heat canola oil at medium heat until a tofu cube placed in the oil sizzles angrily at which point you can CAREFULLY add all of the tofu cubes. Use tongs to turn each cube until all sides are golden brown. Use the tongs to remove the cubes and place them in a large bowl so that most of the oil remains in the pan.
Onions - In a medium-large nonstick pan, heat olive oil at medium heat. I've found that you can really add the onions whenever you want, regardless of the temperature of the oil. Add seasoning salt, pepper, and chili flakes to the onions. Stir until the onions are evenly coated in the oil and all seasoning. Continue to stir periodically until onions are caramelized & remove from heat.

Add enough sweet chili sauce to the tofu to evenly coat the cubes.
Sprinkle in the sesame seeds and toss the tofu so that the seeds evenly coat the cubes.
Add onions and stir mixture.
Let the combo chill in the fridge. Once it is cold, stir in the green onions.
EAT & ENJOY

It's not the simplest recipe, especially because of the risk of firey combustion, but if you ask me it's seriously worth it. In the end, you can always just go to your local D&D and have someone make it for you!

Until your time again finds mine,
