Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block Extra Firm Tofu pressed, with the water removed
  • 1/2 cup Teriyaki Sauce
  • 3 sheets Nori Cut into small pieces
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds

Garnish

  • 2 tsp Nori komi furikake
  • 1/4 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sriracha optional

Bowl

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 1/2 cup Sautéed veggies

Instructions
 

  • Cut your pressed tofu in half horizontally into two pieces. Using a knife make vertical lines in the tofu. You can use a chopsticks on each side of the tofu to make sure you dont cut all the way through the tofu.
  • Pour your teriyaki sauce in a container with a lid. Add your tofu and nori. Marinate the tofu for 30 minutes on one side. Take the tofu out, flip it, and place the tofu back in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes. The longer you marinate it the more flavorful it will be.
  • Sprinkle the sesame seeds on a plate. Press one side of the tofu on top of the sesame seeds until they stick. Add your tofu to a non stick pan with a little bit of oil. Sprinkle the corn starch on all sides of the tofu. Adding this will make it extra crispy. Fry on each side for 3-5 minutes or until cooked all the way. You can add the leftover marinade on top of the tofu while frying. If some of the sesame seeds fall off, no worries. We will add more later.
  • Garnish your fillet with a sprinkle of nori komi furikake and a drizzle of sesame oil and sriracha . Pair your fillet with your choice of veggies and grain.
