Vegan Crunchy and Sticky Teriyaki Tofu Recipe

tofu

🥗Healthier: tempeh

💰Cheaper: seitan

Tempeh offers a higher protein content, while seitan is often less expensive.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine

Rice vinegar with sugar mimics the sweetness of mirin.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is a healthier option, while canola is more budget-friendly.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt intake, and tamari is often cheaper.

Cube the tofu and add it to a bowl along with corn flour.

Toss to coat the tofu evenly.

Oven bake or air fry the tofu at 200° C (390° F) for 30 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Optional: spray a little bit of oil over the tofu to make it extra crispy.

Prepare and cook some rice and broccoli.

In a large fry pan over medium heat, add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking while stirring for 1 minute.

Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and white vinegar to the pan and stir to combine.

Make a corn flour slurry with corn flour and water, then add it to the sauce to thicken it.

Stir until the sauce is nice and thick and glossy.

Add the crispy tofu to the sauce and quickly stir to coat.

Serve the teriyaki tofu over rice and broccoli, finishing with sesame seeds.
