Teriyaki Tofu Bowl | Vegan🌿

DESCRIPTION

Being one of my favorite vegan dishes, this recipe is an extremely fulfilling and hearty lunch/dinner option. The tofu is full of proteins, and the fried lettuces will provide you with enough fiber, making it a balanced meal. The Teriyaki sauce recipe used here can also be used for other veggies or meat, and you only need three ingredients to make it!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 block fried tofu (150g)
• 4 pieces of lettuce leaves
• Brown rice (can be substituted with other types of rice)

SPICES

• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp Sriracha
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• ¼tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Sprinkle of paprika (optional)
• 3 tsp vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook the rice. Water to rice ratio should be 2:1.
2. Cut fried tofu into thick strips, and chop lettuce leaves into smaller pieces.
3. Heat up vegetable oil on medium-high heat, fry the fried tofu strips until golden on both sides.
4. While the tofu strips are cooking, in a small mixing bowl, add maple syrup, light soy sauce, and Sriracha, mix well. 
5. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture onto the tofu strips. Mix around tofu strips and sauce to let tofu absorb the flavor until the sauce starts to caramelize.
6. In a serving bowl, place rice as the bottom layer and teriyaki tofu strips on top.
7. In the same pan (no need to wash), add in lettuce, salt, pepper and paprika, fry until wilted, then serve with tofu and rice.
8. Enjoy!

NOTES

• For the Teriyaki sauce, the ratio between maple syrup, light soy sauce, and sriracha is always 2:2:1.
