4. Cube the pressed tofu into ¼- ½-inch wide cubes. Place tofu cubes in bowl with sesame seeds and gently roll around to coat.
5. Heat remaining Tbsp. of sesame oil in large non-stick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add seed-crusted tofu cubes and any remaining seeds. Cook, turning tofu cubes occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, 5-7 minutes. Add the black pepper.
6. Fluff quinoa and spoon onto 4 plates. Place greens over quinoa and top with tofu cubes. Serve with additional Braggs sauce if desired.
