Servings: 4
Equipment
- Medium Sauté Pan
Ingredients
- 14 oz Extra Firm Tofu Drained and pressed
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
- ¼ cup Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 clove Garlic Minced
Instructions
- rain and press your block of tofu for at least 20 minutes. If you don’t own a tofu press, wrap the tofu in a kitchen towel and place a large pot or pan on top of the tofu as a press. After your tofu is pressed, either cube, crumble, or grate your tofu depending on what texture and shape you would like.
- Place your skillet over medium-high heat and add your avocado oil. Once hot, add in your tofu and sauté until it begins to turn golden and get a crispy texture. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes before mixing around to let the tofu get that golden crust.
- Add the teriyaki sauce and garlic to your sauté pan. Sauté your tofu for another 5 to 10 minutes to caramelize further. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons more sauce as desired or if your tofu is still looking dry. Once this is done, remove from the heat and enjoy!
- Storage Instructions: Store the glazed tofu cubes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days
- Reheating Instructions: To keep the tofu firm, reheat the cubes in a skillet over medium-high heat for three to four minutes until the sauce begins to sizzle and caramelize again. If you are adding them to a hot soup or stir-fry, simply toss them in during the last minute of cooking to warm them through without overcooking.
