Gently heat the stock, miso, ginger and garlic in a pot. Simmer for 5mins.
Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the tofu and fry for 4-5mins until crisp.
Discard the ginger and garlic from the stock pot.

NOTE:
Prior to frying, tofu should be drained, then set on paper towel with weighted plate to remove moisture.
