Teriyaki Tofu Recipes

MARINATED TERIYAKI TOFU

Steps:

• Drain tofu and remove from package.
• Cut tofu into 3/4 inch slices and lay out flat between paper towels.
• Put a weighted cooking sheet on top and press tofu for 30 minutes. This will remove the water from the tofu and allow it to soak up the marinade.
• While tofu is draining, mix together Tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and ground ginger.
• Marinade drained tofu in the mixture for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
• Spray pan with cooking spray.
• Put slices of marinated tofu onto pan, wait for first side to brown (about five minutes) and then cook on other side until browned.
• Enjoy!

CRISPY TERIYAKI TOFU

Steps:

• Whisk teriyaki sauce, green onions, sherry, garlic, Sriracha sauce, and ginger paste together until smooth. Set aside.
• Place cornstarch in a gallon-sized plastic zip-top bag. Drop tofu slices into the bag, seal, and gently shake until all the tofu is coated.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu for 5 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook until browned on the second side, about 5 minutes more. Transfer the tofu to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
• Pour reserved sauce into the skillet and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Return the tofu to the skillet and toss to combine. Transfer the tofu to serving plates and spoon sauce on top just before serving.

VEGAN BBQ TERIYAKI TOFU

Steps:

• Mix the soy sauce, soft brown sugar, ginger and mirin with 1 tsp sesame oil and brush it all over the slices of tofu. Put them in a large, shallow dish and pour over any leftover marinade. Chill for at least 1 hr.
• Heat the barbecue until the coals are glowing white, or heat a griddle pan. Mix the remaining sesame oil with the rapeseed oil and brush the courgette slices and broccoli. Barbecue (or griddle) them over the coals for 7-10 mins or until they are tender and then set aside and keep warm.
• Barbecue the tofu slices on both sides over the coals for 5 mins (or use the griddle) until they turn brown and go crisp at the edges. Serve the tofu on a bed of the veg with the remaining marinade and scatter over the sesame seeds.

EASY TERIYAKI TOFU LO MEIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add lo mein noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 6 minutes. Drain well.
• While the noodles are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. When hot, place tofu in the pan and saute until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer tofu to a plate.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in the same pan. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Combine soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil in a small bowl. Pour into the pan. Add tofu and lo mein noodles; toss to coat in the sauce mixture.
• Serve garnished with green onion and sesame seeds.
