Homemade Teriyaki Tofu for Stir Frys and More

Healthy, flavorful, and ready in 20 minutes, this recipe for homemade teriyaki tofu is the perfect protein-packed addition to any stir fry, dinner bowl with rice, or even as a healthy snack! We toss cubed tofu in my teriyaki sauce that’s equal parts savory, tangy, and sweet, and then pan fry it for those perfectly crisp edges.

  • Heat a large pan with 1 tbsp sesame oil over medium heat. Add the tofu, and let cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping every 3 minutes. Try not to flip the tofu too often, as we want to allow for some browning and crisping on the sides.
