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.

Tools you’ll need
