Ingredients
- All sauce amounts are approximate and to taste
- 12 ounce package of firm tofu
- 1/2 cup terriyaki sauce
- 1/2 cup sesame oil
- 4 cups cooked rice, cold
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 2-3 cups sugar snap peas
Preparation
Step 1
Cut the tofu into 1 inch square pieces. Then press between sheets of paper towels until most of the water has come out. Put the tofu into a bowl and pour the terriyaki sauce over it to marinate. Cover and set to the side while you make the fried rice. To make the fried rice, pour a couple of tablespoons of sesame oil into a saute pan over medium high heat. Once hot, add rice, garlic, and onions and saute until onions are clear. Add 1/3 cup soy sauce, stir until the sauce is mixed in. Turn heat down to simmer, and stir occasionally.
Uncover the tofu bowl and pour any excess sauce into another bowl (you’ll use it later). Spread the cornstarch on a plate, and roll the tofu in the cornstarch to coat. Then heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat in a saute pan and, working in batches if necessary, stir-fry the tofu until the outside is browned and crispy. Once cooked, set the tofu aside and stir-fry the snap peas in the same manner. When the snap peas are warm and soft, add the tofu back in and mix with 1/3 cup soy sauce and any extra terriyaki sauce. Serve over fried rice and enjoy. Yield – 4 entree portions.
