Simple Teriyaki Tofu

Work in Progress: this recipe isn't particularly great in its current form.

A very basic quick teriyaki tofu with steamed vegetables, rice, and mass manufactured teriyaki sauce in a bottle. I like to add some snow peas and baby corn when available.

Ingredients

• 1 crown broccoli
• 1 bunch green onions
• 2 cups long grained american white rice

• 14oz firm tofu
• 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 3 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
• ⅓ cup low sodium teriyaki sauce

Directions

While oven is preheating for the tofu, prepare the tofu and vegetables, aiming to get the rice cooking around the time the tofu goes into the oven, and the vegetables steaming around ten minutes after the tofu goes into the oven.

Rice

1. Bring 2 ½ cups water and ¼ tsp fine grained sea salt to boil
