Teriyaki Marinated Tofu with Garlic Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block of firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, marinate the tofu cubes in 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally to ensure even coating.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar to make the garlic sauce mixture.
- In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable broth and cornstarch until well combined to create a slurry for thickening the sauce later.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
- Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the garlic sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Gradually stir in the slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
- Serve the teriyaki marinated tofu with garlic sauce over steamed rice or your choice of vegetables. Enjoy!
