Ingredients

Baked Tofu

Extra Firm Tofu
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water

Teriyaki Sauce

½ cup Soy sauce or tamari
¾ cup water
1 tbsp rice vinegar
¼ cup brown sugar, maple syrup, or coconut sugar
½ tsp grated ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp water

Serving

cooked rice
3 cups steamed broccoli or other vegetables

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Press the tofu. Cut into cubes.
Combine soy sauce, water, and cornstarch. Toss the tofu cubes in the cornstarch mixture.
Place the tofu cubes on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
While the tofu is baking, combine the all the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch or water in skillet or wok. Cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
Add the baked tofu to the pan of sauce. Add steamed vegetables of choice.
Make a slurry by mixing the corn starch and 3 tablespoons of water. Add this to the pan and cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens.
Serve over rice with steamed vegetables. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
