Ingredientes

• 400 g tofu

Preparación

1. 1

   First, prepare the tofu. For this recipe we need to use firm or extra firm tofu. Note that silken tofu will not work for this particular recipe. When you open a package of tofu, you will find that it contains a lot of liquid. When we thoroughly remove the liquid from the tofu, it will allow it to absorb more flavor. The tofu will taste way better as a result. If I’m in a rush, I just squeeze the tofu with my hands until most of the liquid is gone. If I have more time, I like to leave it in a tofu press, or to leave the tofu on the counter for a while with a heavy pot on top to allow the liquid to drain out of the tofu.

   Cook the rice in water following package instructions.

   After draining off the excess water, cut the tofu into bite sized pieceAfter draining off the excess water, cut the tofu into bite sized pieces, and add to a bowl along with 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce. Stir to coat all the pieces evenly, then transfer them to a baking sheet and place them in the oven. Bake them in the oven for 25-30 minutes on 210°C /200°C fan oven / 400°F. Take them out to flip them once they are halfway through cooking.

   Remove the tofu from the oven, and add the pieces back to the bowl. Add the remaining 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce to the bowl, and stir to coat. The result is lovely crispy pieces of tofu in yummy teriyaki.

5. 5

   Prepare the rest of your bowl. For this recipe, I have added edamame beans, radishes, cucumber slices, beansprouts and rice, along with the tofu. I also added a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top, which adds a little bit of flavour and a lot of pretty.
