Dinner Vegetarian Healthy Teriyaki

Ingredients

1 firm tofu
0.33 cup cornstarch
1 miso
3 tbsp itsu teriyaki cooking sauce
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp water
2 tsp sesame oil
a thumb ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 spring onion
sesame seeds
cooked rice

Instructions

1
Drain the block of firm tofu and cut it into 1‑inch thick steaks; lightly score the surface of each steak in a crosshatch pattern.
2
Place the tofu steaks between two sheets of kitchen paper and press gently to squeeze out as much moisture as possible (about 2‑3 minutes).
3
Brush each steak with 1 tsp sesame oil, then toss them in a shallow bowl with the cornstarch until evenly coated; shake off excess.
4
Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat, add a thin layer of neutral oil, and pan‑fry the tofu steaks for about 7 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
5
While the tofu cooks, combine miso, teriyaki sauce, honey, mirin, water, the remaining 1 tsp sesame oil, grated ginger, and grated garlic in a bowl; whisk until smooth.
6
When the tofu is browned, reduce the heat to medium‑low and pour the sauce mixture over the steaks, turning them to coat evenly.
7
Allow the sauce to simmer for 3‑4 minutes, stirring gently, until it thickens into a glossy glaze; if it becomes too thick, thin it with a splash of water.
8
Remove the skillet from the heat; sprinkle the minced spring onion and sesame seeds over the glazed tofu.
9
Serve the tofu steaks hot, spooning any remaining glaze over a bed of cooked rice.
