Teriyaki Sesame Tofu Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice tofu widthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Spray a second skillet with a little cooking spray to ensure all surfaces are coated. Lay tofu slices side by side in a flat layer in the skillet; you will have to work in batches. Sprinkle exposed side of each tofu piece with sesame seeds.
• Cook over medium heat until tofu is firm, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip each piece of tofu over with a fork. Sprinkle the cooked side of the tofu with sesame seeds and cook until firm and browned, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside. Repeat to cook remaining tofu.
• Stir teriyaki sauce and honey together in a bowl. Add remaining sesame seeds (there should be at least 1/2 cup left) to the sauce. Pour sauce over the vegetables in the pan and heat on low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Serve vegetables with sauce over brown rice and top with sesame tofu.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add lo mein noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 6 minutes. Drain well.
• While the noodles are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. When hot, place tofu in the pan and saute until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer tofu to a plate.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in the same pan. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Combine soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil in a small bowl. Pour into the pan. Add tofu and lo mein noodles; toss to coat in the sauce mixture.
• Serve garnished with green onion and sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Lay tofu slices onto several layers of paper towel; top with more paper towel. Place something heavy onto the tofu to squeeze excess water from the tofu; let sit until the tofu is drained, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Stir teriyaki sauce, sesame seeds, garlic, hot sauce, and sugar together in a bowl. Cut pressed tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and add to teriyaki sauce mixture; stir gently to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate 5 to 10 minutes.
• Spread tofu onto prepared baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until golden brown, about 15 minutes more.
• Prepare a bed of romaine lettuce on a salad platter. Arrange strawberry slices around the edge of the lettuce bed. Spritz or drizzle raspberry vinaigrette over the lettuce. Pile warm baked tofu onto the lettuce.
