Grid inferred from the written steps.

Steps

press the tofu for at least 10 minutes and cut it into two slabs
whisk honey, soy sauce, mirin and lemon juice
pan-fry the tofu in oil until golden on both sides
add half the glaze and reduce until it coats the tofu
serve with rice and fried onion or garlic; keep the second slab unsauced if saving it

Tweaks

the older version's teriyaki was dropped because it made the sauce too soy-heavy
brown sugar is the fallback when honey is unavailable
