- 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of honey

Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
- Cut the drained and pressed tofu into cubes and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- While the tofu is marinating, prepare a steamer and bring water to a boil. Place the broccoli florets in the steamer basket and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and caramelized.
- Serve the teriyaki marinated tofu with the steamed broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
The history of Teriyaki Marinated Tofu dates back to ancient Japan, where the art of teriyaki cooking was born. The dish gained popularity in the 1960s when Japanese cuisine started to make its mark on the global culinary scene. Renowned chefs in Japan, such as Nobu Matsuhisa, elevated the dish by infusing it with their own unique flavors and techniques. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in authentic Japanese restaurants, where skilled chefs marinate the tofu in a blend of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, creating a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. The key to this dish is getting the tofu marination just right, ensuring it absorbs the rich teriyaki flavors. As for the side of steamed broccoli, it adds a fresh and nutritious element to the dish, complementing the rich flavors of the teriyaki tofu. For a twist, some chefs also grill the tofu to add a smoky charred flavor, elevating the dish to new heights.
