Time 1h20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 19

¼ (12 ounce) package firm tofu
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
½ tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
1 pinch adobo seasoning, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
paprika to taste
1 pinch lemon pepper, or to taste
freshly ground white pepper to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons shoyu, divided
3 tablespoons garlic teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 button mushroom, sliced
4 tablespoons onion, chopped
2 tablespoons sweet chile sauce
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
⅛ cup chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
  • Cube tofu and place in a large bowl. Add ginger, lemon juice, onion powder, adobo, cayenne, paprika, lemon pepper, white pepper, and black pepper to taste; set aside.
  • Heat a medium-sized nonstick pan over medium heat and add sesame oil. When pan is hot, add tofu, 2 tablespoons shoyu, and teriyaki sauce. Cook and stir for a few seconds, then let tofu cook without stirring for 2 minutes. Repeat stirring and cooking without stirring for 6 minutes total. Flip tofu in the pan like flipping a pancake without a spatula and continue cooking until crispy, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil and remaining shoyu to the pan. Mix in and push tofu to one side of the pan to make room. Add remaining coconut oil to the pan. Stir in mushroom and onion and cook until light golden-brown in color, about 5 minutes more.
  • Mix vegetables and tofu together in the pan and add chile sauce. Cook, stirring every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes more.
  • Remove tofu from heat and allow to cool briefly. Sprinkle with green onion before serving.

This recipe was a fail. The tofu was mushy and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tofu didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was okay. The tofu was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it! I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

The tofu was a bit bland for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try adding some extra spices next time.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The tofu was perfectly cooked and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy. We all agreed that it was one of the best tofu dishes we've ever had.

This teriyaki tofu was an absolute delight! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. I especially loved the hint of spice from the chili powder. Definitely a keeper!
