Teriyaki Glazed Tofu with Sesame Seared Bok Choy
The teriyaki flavors mixed with the sesame oil and the slight bite from the bok choy is a really delicious flavor combination. And the whole meal came together quickly, which means it works for both Sunday dinners and weeknights.
Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
step 1
Start by pressing the water out of the Firm Tofu (3/4 pckg)-wrap the tofu in a towel or paper towel, and set something heavy (like a cookbook) on top.
step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the Soy Sauce (1/2 cup), Ground Ginger (1 tsp), minced Garlic (1 clove), Minced Dried Onion (1 tsp), Water (4 Tbsp) and Brown Sugar (2 Tbsp). Stir until sugar is melted and incorporated.
step 3
1n a separate cup or bowl, add together the Water (1 Tbsp) and Corn Starch (1 tsp). Bring the sauce to a simmer and slowly add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
step 4
When the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and set aside.
step 5
Preheat the oven to broil. Cut the tofu into squares or triangles and place on a greased baking dish.
step 6
Spoon a small amount of glaze on top of the tofu.
step 7
Broil for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, flip tofu over and add more glaze to the other side.
step 8
Broil for another 10 minutes.
step 9
While the tofu is broiling, heat the Sesame Oil (2 tsp) in a skillet at medium to medium-high heat. Add the Baby Bok Choy (2 bunches) and sear just until the leaves are wilted – this will keep a bit of texture on the stems.
step 10
Sprinkle Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (to taste) and Sesame Seeds (to taste) on top, if desired. Serve the tofu and bok choy over quinoa, rice, or cauliflower rice. Enjoy!
