- Return the crispy tofu to the skillet. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
- Serve the teriyaki glazed tofu stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Enjoy!
Teriyaki Glazed Tofu Stir-Fry has a rich history rooted in Japanese cuisine. The dish originated in Japan, where chefs developed the art of teriyaki cooking, a method of grilling or broiling foods with a glaze made of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Over time, this technique spread to other parts of the world, including the United States, where it gained popularity as a vegetarian stir-fry option. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in Japanese restaurants known for their mastery of teriyaki cooking. The key to a perfect Teriyaki Glazed Tofu Stir-Fry lies in the balance of sweet and savory flavors, achieved through the precise combination of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar in the teriyaki glaze. For a twist on the traditional recipe, some chefs incorporate additional ingredients such as ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to enhance the overall flavor profile.
