Instructions for Making Delicious and Perfect Healthy Japanese Teriyaki Tofu

Step One

Drain and slice the block of tofu into 5 slices. Place the tofu on a wire rack and drain it for at least 30 minutes. If you want to get this started in the morning, be sure to refrigerate the tofu as it drains.

Step Two

Mix the soy sauce, sake, and sugar to make the teriyaki sauce.

Step Three

Pat all sides of the tofu dry with paper towels.

Step Four

Rub the grated garlic and ginger onto all sides of the tofu and then dust every surface with a generous amount of potato starch.

Step Five

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Place the tofu in the pan with space between them, so they don’t stick together. Pan-fry the tofu until it’s browned on one side (3-4 minutes).
