Tofu Teriyaki Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Make the Teriyaki Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water until smooth.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Sauce

    Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked tofu in the skillet. Stir to coat the tofu evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
