Teriyaki Tofu and Vegetables
Ingredients
1-2 containers of extra firm or firm tofu (I prefer extra firm and recommend ½ container per person so for our family of 4, we use 2 containers found in the refrigerated produce section )
1 green pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
½ onion, sliced
Teriyaki sauce
Take tofu out of containers and slice into ½ inch slices. Wrap slices in clean dishtowels or paper towels for 5 minutes to take out extra water from the packaging. Cut tofu into small to medium size cubes. Slice vegetables.
I cook the tofu and veggies in 2 pans because the tofu cooks on medium high and the veggies cook on medium and I don’t want to burn the veggies. If you only want to use one pan, cook the tofu and then put it on a plate and use the same pan to cook the veggies. Once both are cooked combine them in the pan so the tofu is heated and serve over rice.
Cooking the tofu: Spray large sauté pan with non-stick spray or use a little olive oil. Place tofu cubes in pan on medium high. Saute until heated through. Pour teriyaki sauce on tofu (I usually use enough to cover tofu but not so much that it is swimming in it (approx. ¼ cup). Cook on medium high to high until crispy, stirring often.
Cooking the veggies: Spray large sauté pan with non-stick spray or use a little olive oil. Place Vegetables in pan on medium high. Saute until heated through. Pour teriyaki sauce on vegetables (just enough to cover them but not too much). Cook on medium until cooked to your liking, stirring often.
Combine the tofu and veggies or serve them apart (which my kids prefer) with a side of rice and an eggroll. Enjoy!
