Teriyaki Tofu is a protein rich recipe made from golden brown pan fried tofu that’s coated in a simple, sweet and savory teriyaki sauce.No marinating required and it’s surprisingly so good that even meat eaters will love this vegan dish! With the rising prices of meat tofu is an excellent economical alternative.Until more recent years tofu was not an ingredient I gave any attention to.

I just didn’t grow up eating it and hadn’t heard great things about it.However after realizing it’s protein content, that it has a variety of beneficial vitamins and minerals, and that it was commonly served in the blue zone Okinawa, Japan (a location with a high concentration of centenarians and exceptional longevity), I decided to give it a shot.After a few years of trying it myself and cooking with it in my own kitchen I’d personally say it has an unfairly negative reputation.

Sure it can be true that it is really bland on it’s own if not properly seasoned, but it takes so well to sauces, spices, seasonings and herbs because of it’s neutral flavor profile.Making it basically a blank canvas and easily adaptable.We have loved it for tofu tacos and tofu scramble and now more recently this seriously tasty teriyaki tofu.
