Ingredients
Scale
Teriyaki Sauce and Tofu
- 1 cup Soy Vay® Veri Veri Teriyaki® Sauce (plus 1/4 cup for serving)
- 1 package (14 oz.) firm tofu
Bowls
- 4 cups cooked rice noodles or spaghetti noodles
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 2 green scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Drain and Slice Tofu: Cut the tofu into 1/4 inch slices and place them on paper towels to dry and drain excess moisture for about 10 minutes, which helps achieve a better texture when baked.
- Marinate the Tofu: Arrange the tofu slices in a shallow dish and pour 1 cup of teriyaki sauce over them. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for 20-30 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the tofu.
- Bake the Tofu: Remove tofu from the marinade and place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Assemble the Bowls: Distribute 1 cup of cooked noodles into each bowl. Top with equal portions of the sliced carrots, snap peas, pineapple chunks, baked teriyaki tofu, and sliced scallions.
- Add Final Sauce: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of Soy Vay® Veri Veri Teriyaki® Sauce on top of each bowl for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Press the tofu well before marinating to improve texture and flavor absorption.
- You can substitute cooked rice noodles with any preferred noodle or even steamed rice.
- For extra vegetables, consider adding bell peppers or broccoli.
- Leftover tofu and bowl ingredients can be refrigerated and reheated but are best served fresh.
