1. Tofu Sticks
2. Combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and Cilantro in a small bowl. Thoroughly mix eggs in separate bowl.
3. Cut block of tofu into 12 sticks, and pat each stick completely dry with paper towels.
4. Toss tofu sticks in flour mixture, then eggs, then flour mixture a second time. Pan-fry sticks over high heat in a wide pot, flipping until all sides are brown and crispy.
5. Let fried tofu sticks drain on a wire rack, and drain remaining oil from the pot.
6. Stir the Korean BBQ Sauce mixture to ensure nothing has settled to the bottom, and add it to the pan that has been drained of oil. Bring to a simmer, then add the fried tofu sticks. Stir gently until sauce has thickened to your liking.
7. Serve tofu sticks over rice, sprinkling heavily with sesame seeds.
