Teriyaki Tofu
Teriyaki Tofu
Ingredients
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce store bought or my homemade teriyaki sauce
- 16 oz extra firm tofu or high protein tofu
- 3 cups mixed vegetables
- 1/2 cup soy sauce or teriyaki marinade (for marinating) (or Tamari or Bragg's liquid amino for gluten-free)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil (for frying)
- 4 cups cooked rice or noodles
Instructions
1. Make the homemade teriyaki sauce. (Omit this step if using store bought sauce).
2. Drain and press your extra firm tofu to get as much excess water out of it as possible.
3. Cut the tofu into 1/2 inch cubes.
4. Marinate the tofu in soy sauce or the teriyaki marinade for at least 15 minutes.
5. Stir fry the tofu in 1 tbsp of sesame oil on medium-high heat, flipping frequently until the tofu cubes become crispy on all sides.
6. While the tofu is cooking, wash and cut about 3 cups of any veggies that you want to add to the dish.
7. Remove the cooked tofu from the skillet, add an additional 1 tbsp of sesame oil.
8. Stir fry the veggies for about 3-5 minutes over medium-high heat until they are cooked, but not mushy.
9. Add the tofu back into the skillet with the veggies and drizzle with about 1 cup of teriyaki sauce.
10. Mix well and serve over rice or noodles.
Recipe Notes
Pro Tips:
Make sure to drain and press your tofu well.
Add the thicken teriyaki sauce after cooking to avoid it sticking and burning to the pan.
Marinate the tofu for at least 15 minutes. You can marinate it a day or two in advance, but be sure to keep it refrigerated until ready to cook.
