1	pound	tofu	firm, drained
1/4	cup	milk	fat free
2	large	egg whites	lightly beaten
1/2	teaspoon	salt
1/4	teaspoon	black pepper	freshly ground
3	tablespoons	bread crumbs, whole wheat	dried
2	tablespoons	white sesame seeds
1	tablespoon	sesame seeds	black
1/2	teaspoon	sesame oil
12	each	scallions, spring or green onions	ends trimmed, cut in half crosswise, then halved again lengthwise

Cut the tofu crosswise into 12 slices.

Place the tofu slices in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes on each side.

The tofu will brown slightly and lose some of its liquid.

Transfer to a plate and let cool.

In a bowl, whisk together the milk, egg whites, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper until well blended.

On a large plate, combine the bread crumbs, white and black sesame seeds, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Mix until well blended. Dip a tofu slice into the milk mixture, and then dredge in the sesame seed mixture.

Repeat dipping and dredging with the remaining tofu slices.

In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat.

Arrange the tofu slices in the pan and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes on each side.

Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Add the green onions to the pan and saute until they begin to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Divide the green onions among individual plates.

Top each serving with 3 tofu steaks and serve immediately.
