Press tofu to remove excess moisture for 15 minutes.

Whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a bowl.

Add water gradually to thin the marinade to desired consistency.

Slice tofu into thick slabs or cubes.

Marinate tofu in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally.

Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat.

Remove tofu from marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.

Grill or bake tofu for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and slightly charred.

Baste with reserved marinade halfway through cooking.

Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
