Ingredients

  • ¼ cup tamari
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tbs packed brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tbs agave
  • 2 tbs cornstarch
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 cup of rice
  • 1 brick of tofu pressed
  • 2 Tbs cornstarch
  • peanut oil for frying sub for your preferred oil
  • sesame seeds to garnish
  • kimchi optional
  • 1 bundle broccolini

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Toss the broccoli on a roasting sheet with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Prepare your rice according to package instructions.
  • To make your teriyaki sauce, mix water, tamari, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and agave in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. In a measuring cup combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until dissolved and smooth. Add to sauce pan over medium heat to thicken the teriyaki sauce. Whisk the sauce while it simmers for about 3-5 minutes, until it reaches desired consistency. Set aside.
  • For the tofu: Pour enough oil in your skillet to cover the bottom. Heat oil. Cut your drained and pressed tofu brick into 1 inch cubes, then toss until lightly coated in cornstarch. Carefully fry tofu for about 5 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from pan and let drain on paper towels.
  • In a small bowl mix teriyaki sauce and tofu until coated. To serve, divide rice into bowls, top with broccoli, kimchi, tofu, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
