Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into cubes or slices, as preferred.

  2. 2

    Make the Teriyaki Sauce

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Tofu

    Place the tofu in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki sauce over it. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tofu

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the tofu from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sprinkle the cornstarch on the tofu pieces.

  5. 5

    Sauté the Tofu

    Add the tofu to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or vegetables.
