Description

A delicious and crispy tofu dish marinated in teriyaki sauce and paired with sweet grilled pineapple, served over rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 cup chopped pineapple, for glaze and grilling
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
  3. Mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, and minced garlic to create a marinade.
  4. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Prepare the pineapple glaze by cooking chopped pineapple with some brown sugar and a little water until it thickens.
  6. Bake marinated tofu for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy.
  7. Grill pineapple slices until charred.
  8. Cook rice according to package instructions.
  9. Serve crispy tofu over rice, topped with grilled pineapple and chopped red onion.

Notes

Best eaten the same day; tofu loses its crunch overnight. You can prepare the marinated tofu a day in advance.
