Teriyaki Tofu

Print Recipe

Are you wanting to shift to a more plant-based diet but can’t give up that good old chicken teriyaki bowl? Well, this recipe is perfect for you. This recipe is better than any teriyaki tofu recipe you can order at a restaurant. It’s coated with a sweet and salty teriyaki sauce and also comes with a crunch. You can serve it on a bed of rice or just eat it alone- either way, it’s high in protein and carbohydrates, keeping you full and fueling you with energy!
