Provided by Merle O'Neal

Categories     Dinner

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 oz extra firm tofu, 1 block
1 carrot, sliced
1 red pepper, chopped
½ broccoli
½ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup honey
2 teaspoons sesame seed
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4 slices ginger, minced or sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig fresh scallion, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F (230˚C).
  • Place two sheets of paper towels on a cutting board and put tofu on top, then put two sheets of paper towels on top of the tofu.
  • Place heavy books, cast iron pans, etc. on top of tofu for at least 20 minutes to drain water.
  • In a small bowl, mix marinade ingredients and pour marinade over tofu, then refrigerate for an hour.
  • Fold the parchment paper in half, then open up.
  • Place carrots, red pepper, and broccoli on parchment paper, and drizzle on oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper.
  • Lay the tofu on the veggies, and cinch the paper together by folding it over itself along the edges.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until tofu is golden brown.
  • Serve over rice or pasta, with a sprinkle of scallions.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right tofu: Use extra firm or firm tofu for the best results. Extra firm tofu will hold its shape better during cooking, while firm tofu will have a slightly softer texture.
  • Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu before cooking helps to remove excess moisture, resulting in a firmer texture. To press the tofu, wrap it in a few layers of paper towels and place it on a plate. Place another plate on top of the tofu and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a can of beans or a heavy skillet. Let the tofu press for at least 30 minutes.
  • Use a good quality teriyaki sauce: The teriyaki sauce is the key to the flavor of this dish, so be sure to use a good quality sauce. You can either make your own teriyaki sauce or use a store-bought brand. If you are using a store-bought sauce, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Don't overcook the tofu: Tofu is a delicate protein and can easily be overcooked. Cook the tofu for just a few minutes per side, or until it is heated through.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Teriyaki tofu can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. It can also be used as a topping for salads or tacos.

Conclusion:

Teriyaki tofu is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of protein and is also low in calories and fat. This dish is also easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a vegetarian or simply looking for a new and exciting way to cook tofu, teriyaki tofu is a great option.
