Teriyaki tofu using frozen tofu.

Equipment

  • Frying pan, medium size

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block frozen tofu
  • 2 Tbsp potato starch
  • vegetable oil, for pan frying
For The Teriyaki Sauce
  • ½ Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp mirin
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce

Instructions
 

  1. Prepare the tofu: Transfer the frozen tofu to the refrigerator and let it thaw naturally. Once thawed, gently squeeze out the excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Pan-fry the Tofu: Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly coat each piece of tofu with potato starch. Place the tofu in the pan and cook until golden and crispy on one side. Flip and cook the other side until both sides are nicely crisp. Transfer the tofu to a plate.
  3. Make the teriyaki sauce: Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Add the sugar, soy sauce, and mirin to the pan. Cook over low heat, stirring gently, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce becomes glossy and slightly thickened.
  4. Finish the dish: Return the crispy tofu to the pan. Gently toss to coat each piece evenly with the sauce until everything is well glazed. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • When pan-frying, use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to keep the tofu from sticking.
  • This teriyaki sauce has a moderately sweet flavor. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a little more sugar to suit your taste.
