To achieve crispy tofu, ensure you thoroughly drain and press all excess liquid from the extra-firm tofu before cutting and pan-searing it in hot oil.

Can I make these Teriyaki Tofu Steaks gluten-free?

Yes, simply ensure the teriyaki sauce you use is certified gluten-free, as some brands contain wheat. All other ingredients are naturally gluten-free.

After pressing, cut the tofu block into 1-inch blocks, then further cut each block into triangles (fourths) to create the steak-like shapes.

What are good serving suggestions for these Teriyaki Tofu Steaks?

We recommend serving these teriyaki tofu steaks with steamed broccoli florets, allowing them to soak up the delicious caramelized teriyaki sauce.

How to Prepare Teriyaki Tofu Steaks [Vegan]

Prepare tofu by draining and pressing excess liquid out.
Cut into 1-inch blocks, then into triangles (fourths).
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add oil.
Once hot, carefully add tofu triangles and heat for 5 minutes per side, then pour in teriyaki sauce and let saute an additional 3-4 minutes per side so the sauce caramelizes a bit.
Transfer to plate and use kitchen scissors to cut 1/4 inch or smaller pieces of green onion over the teriyaki tofu steaks. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
We like to add just steamed broccoli florets to this dish so it soaks up a little of that teriyaki sauce.
