Teriyaki Tofu And Broccoli

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the tofu. Cut the tofu into cubes and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Place more paper towels on top of the tofu and press gently to remove excess moisture. This step will help the tofu absorb more flavor later on.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to create the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy on all sides. Once cooked, remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. You can add a splash of water to create steam and help cook the broccoli faster.

5. Return the tofu to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu and broccoli, stirring gently to coat everything evenly. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for another 2-3 minutes.

6. Once the sauce has thickened and coated the tofu and broccoli nicely, remove the skillet from the heat.

7. Serve the Teriyaki Tofu and Broccoli over a bed of cooked white rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for extra flavor and a pop of color.
