Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup chopped onion
1 ½ (14 ounce) packages extra-firm tofu
¾ cup sesame seeds, divided
16 fluid ounces teriyaki sauce
½ cup honey, or more to taste
3 cups cooked brown rice, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice tofu widthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Spray a second skillet with a little cooking spray to ensure all surfaces are coated. Lay tofu slices side by side in a flat layer in the skillet; you will have to work in batches. Sprinkle exposed side of each tofu piece with sesame seeds.
  • Cook over medium heat until tofu is firm, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip each piece of tofu over with a fork. Sprinkle the cooked side of the tofu with sesame seeds and cook until firm and browned, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside. Repeat to cook remaining tofu.
  • Stir teriyaki sauce and honey together in a bowl. Add remaining sesame seeds (there should be at least 1/2 cup left) to the sauce. Pour sauce over the vegetables in the pan and heat on low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve vegetables with sauce over brown rice and top with sesame tofu.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, sliced 1/2 inch thick
cooking spray
½ cup teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon hot sauce
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 small head romaine lettuce, or to taste, torn
3 strawberries, or more to taste, sliced
¼ cup raspberry vinaigrette dressing

Steps:

  • Lay tofu slices onto several layers of paper towel; top with more paper towel. Place something heavy onto the tofu to squeeze excess water from the tofu; let sit until the tofu is drained, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Stir teriyaki sauce, sesame seeds, garlic, hot sauce, and sugar together in a bowl. Cut pressed tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and add to teriyaki sauce mixture; stir gently to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Spread tofu onto prepared baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until golden brown, about 15 minutes more.
  • Prepare a bed of romaine lettuce on a salad platter. Arrange strawberry slices around the edge of the lettuce bed. Spritz or drizzle raspberry vinaigrette over the lettuce. Pile warm baked tofu onto the lettuce.
