Quick Teriyaki Tofu with Broccoli Recipe

This dish features tofu that is marinated and stir-fried until golden brown, then tossed with vibrant broccoli and coated in a homemade teriyaki sauce. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
  • For the Teriyaki Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into cubes. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to create the teriyaki marinade. Add the tofu cubes and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the Tofu: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
  4. Combine and Thicken: Return the tofu to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the mixture and stir well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu and broccoli.
  5. Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
