Ingredients
Teriyaki Stir-Fry Sauce:
- Garlic - 3 cloves , chopped
- Soy sauce, low-sodium - 1/4 cup
- Vinegar, rice - 1 Tbsp
- Water - 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp
- Brown sugar - 2 Tbsp
- Cornstarch - 1 Tbsp
- Oil, toasted sesame - 2 tsp
Teriyaki Tofu Stir-Fry:
- Tofu, extra-firm - 16 oz , 1" / 2.5cm cubed (vacuum packed preferable)
- Bell peppers, any color - 1 , diced
- Shallots - 2 bulbs , diced
- Broccoli - 10 oz , florets
- Pineapple - 10 oz , cubed
- Oil, cooking - 2 Tbsp
- Teriyaki sauce (ingredients listed separately) - 1 cup
Rice (for 2 nights):
- Rice, uncooked white or brown - 2 cups
Prep
- Tofu - If tofu is packaged in water, press out liquid first. Slice into 1" / 2.5cm cubes. (Can be done up 1 day ahead)
- Rice - This makes enough for two nights. For white rice, rinse until clear. Fill a saucepan or Dutch oven (or rice cooker) with rice, water (use 2:1 ratio for water to rice), and some salt. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Once water boils, stir, lower heat to a low-medium, and cover. Check white rice after ~20 min; brown at ~45 min. Rice is done when it's absorbed all the water. If it's not done, leave the cover on until all water has been absorbed. Take cover off to release steam and fluff with a wooden spoon after 5 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Make teriyaki sauce - Chop garlic. Combine garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, first part of water and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch with second part of water (making sure it’s cold). Pour cornstarch mixture into saucepan and simmer until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in toasted sesame oil. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Bell peppers / Shallots / Broccoli / Pineapple - Prep as directed. Combine bell peppers, shallots and broccoli in one container. Store pineapple separately. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
