Teriyaki Tofu Bun Recipe

Teriyaki Tofu Bun Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tofu

   Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Cut and Marinate

   Once pressed, cut the tofu into slabs or cubes. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar. Add the tofu to the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

3. 3

   Coat Tofu

   After marinating, remove the tofu from the marinade and toss it with cornstarch until well coated.

4. 4

   Cook the Tofu

   Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated tofu and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   Prepare Vegetables

   While the tofu is cooking, wash and slice the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Chop the green onions.

6. 6

   Assemble the Buns

   In each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a few pieces of cooked tofu, cucumber, carrot, and green onions. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

7. 7

   Add Sauce

   Drizzle with sriracha or your preferred hot sauce for extra flavor, if desired.

8. 8
