Teriyaki Tofu ｜照燒豆腐

The tofu in this recipe can be from silken to extra firm.  It depends on your preference.

Ingredients:

1 box Firm Tofu

1/3 cup Corn Starch

4 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Ingredients for Teriyaki Sauce:

3 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce

4 tablespoons Brown Sugar

2 tablespoons Mirin

1 tablespoon Cooking Rice Wine

3 tablespoons Water

1/2 teaspoon Corn Starch

Direction:

1. Mix the sauce ingredients together; set it aside.

2. Cut the tofu into 1 cm slices.

3. Pat dry the water from the tofu with paper towel.

4. Coat each slice of tofu with some corn starch.

5. In a non-stick pan, add vegetable oil.  Heat it up over medium heat.  Carefully add the tofu slices and fry them until they are slightly golden and crispy outside; about 5 minutes.

6. Flip the tofu over and fry the other side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are crispy.

7. Reduce the heat to low.  Add the teriyaki sauce and allow it to cook until it is slightly thickened.  Transfer the tofu and sauce to the serving plate immediately.

8.  Sprinkle some scallion on before serving if desired.

Fried Pork Stuffed Vegetable is a dish my mom often made when I was little.  Besides pork, she liked to mix in a few water chestnuts to add a little crunch and a subtle sweetness, or she would substituted the pork for fish cake or fresh shrimp available in the fresh market.

In Canada, where we live, is not easy to buy any of the ingredients Mom had used except for the pork.  So, it is the way this version of the dish remains on our family menu.  Serve it with a bowl of steamed rice and enjoy the balance of the juices from the vegetable and the meat and I will call it a warm and substantial meal.
