Equipment

1 large sheet pan
1 pan

Ingredients

For the baked tofu

350 g block extra firm tofu
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt

For the Sauce

1 batch 5-Minute Teriyaki Inspired Stir Fry Sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cubed tofu in the olive oil, cornstarch and salt. Lay evenly on the parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides, flipping half way through.
Meanwhile, whisk together the 5-Minute Teriyaki Inspired Stir Fry Sauce.
Heat the stir fry sauce in a large pan over medium heat. Let the sauce come to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and continue to let simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened to the texture of maple syrup. It will thicken more as it cools!
Once the tofu is finished baking, add to the pan with the sauce and toss well to coat the tofu. Serve and enjoy!
