Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Start by pressing the tofu for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400F and cut tofu into cubes. Toss in a large bowl and coat with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon avocado oil, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Arrange in an even layer on a lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- Step 2
As the tofu bakes, prepare the teriyaki sauce. To a large skillet, add ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup water, 3 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 teaspoons grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch that has been whisked together with 1 tablespoon water to create a cornstarch slurry.
- Step 3
Warm the skillet over medium heat and bring sauce to a simmer for about 5 minutes. The sauce will begin to thicken but make sure to whisk often to prevent the cornstarch from clumping at the bottom.
- Step 4
Once the sauce is thickened, turn off the heat. Add the cooked tofu to the skillet and toss together to fully coat each piece. Serve immediately!
