Arrange tofu slices in a single layer on a flat dish. Combine marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl and pour over tofu. Leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning the tofu slices over occasionally. Dip the tofu slices, one at a time, into egg and milk or water mixture. Coat with sesame seeds and flour mixture.
