Vegan Teriyaki Tofu Recipe

This sticky teriyaki tofu totally beats a takeaway! We make our very own teriyaki sauce, which we coat around crispy tofu pieces.

  • If you need to press the tofu, remove the tofu from its packaging and place it on a plate between a couple of paper towels. Top with a heavy book or mug and leave to press for as a long as possible.
