Ingredients

  • 450 grams extra firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tsp onion salt or regular salt
  • 1-2 tbsp cornstarch
For the teriyaki sauce (or use a store-bought one)
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start with pressing the excess moisture out of your tofu. Set aside until ready.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce and bring it up to a boil, stirring throughout. When done, set aside to cool until room temperature.
  3. When your tofu is ready, cut your tofu into triangles, cubes, or strips. I like mine to be around 1 to 2 cm thick.
  4. Heat your oven to 400F.
  5. In a bowl, coat the tofu with olive oil, part of the teriyaki sauce (½ to ¾ of the sauce), and onion salt. Gently stir to combine.
  6. When the sauce has been absorbed by the tofu, lightly sprinkle cornstarch on top and again, gently stir to combine.
  7. Place the tofu on a greased sheet pan (or parchment lined) and bake for 20 minutes before flipping the tofu pieces over and bake for another 20 minutes.
  8. When done, serve with the leftover teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping or by coating the tofu with the sauce.

Notes

  • If you are oil-free, feel free to skip the olive oil. It'll be slightly less crispy though. But it's still do-able!
