Teriyaki Tofu

This Teriyaki Tofu will make you forget about ordering it for takeout ever again! The total cook time makes it quick enough to make as a weeknight meal. 

A few notes

  1. Press the tofu for at least one hour but no more than 4 hours. As long as you remember to do this ahead of time, the cooking time will take you no more than 15 minutes. 
  2. Teriyaki sauce is incredibly easy to make. There’s no need to buy those pre-made bottles ever again. As long as you have soy sauce, sake, sugar, and mirin on hand, you got yourself delicious teriyaki sauce! Of course, if you would like this to be alcohol free, you can substitute the sake with water. 
  3. Since the cornstarch will create a crispy texture on the tofu, it is best to serve this immediately. If there are any leftovers, just know that the tofu will no longer be crispy but instead will have a chewy exterior. It will still taste delicious either way. 🙂
