Glazed Teriyaki Tofu Rice Bowl

Ingredients

• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp mirin
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed
• 1.5 cups cooked sushi rice
• 3 stalks scallions, sliced (white + green separated)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1

   Whisk soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cut pressed tofu into 0.75-inch cubes. Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

3. 3

   Add tofu to the hot skillet in a single layer. Let each side sear without moving until golden, about 2 minutes per side.

4. 4

   Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu. Toss gently and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces and coats the tofu, 3–4 minutes.

5. 5

   Divide cooked rice between two bowls. Top with glazed tofu and sauce. Scatter white parts of scallions, then green tops and sesame seeds.
