Savor the Flavor: Teriyaki Tofu and Veggie Bowl Delight

Learn how to make delicious Teriyaki Tofu and Veggie Bowl. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s a simple list of ingredients to get you started. Feel free to make substitutions based on what you have at home—because flexibility is key in a home kitchen.

  • 14 oz firm tofu, drained and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 scallions, chopped, for garnish

Substitution Tip: If you’re out of firm tofu, feel free to use extra-firm or even tempeh for a nutty twist. No snap peas? Zucchini or green beans work wonders too!

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can bring this delightful bowl to life:

  1. Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place something heavy on top for about 15 minutes.
  2. Once pressed, cut the tofu into cubes and toss them with soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. This helps achieve a crispy exterior.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat and add the tofu cubes. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add a little more sesame oil if needed, and toss in the broccoli, bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
  5. Return the tofu to the pan and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly, and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve the tofu and veggies over a bed of cooked brown rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions for an extra touch of flavor.

Cooking Tip: If you’re like me, always multitasking, prepare your rice ahead of time or use leftover rice from the fridge. It saves time and makes the process smoother.
