We literally use these Lee Kum Kee sauces all the time at home. They make cooking tasty food super quick and easy.

Here’s what you need to know about this recipe:

• Our 1 pack of tofu weighs roughly 400g (14.1oz), which is enough for two good-sized tofu ‘steaks’ per person.
• For best results, we recommend freezing the tofu and then defrosting it, which will give the tofu a spongy texture and help it to absorb as much flavour as possible.

Ingredients

• 400g / 14.1oz firm tofu, pressed and sliced into ‘steaks’
• 2 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Teriyaki Sauce
• 1 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Premium Light Soy Sauce
• 2 tsp maple syrup
• 1/2 lime, juice only

Method

1. Combine the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a shallow dish. Add the tofu – coating it in the marinade – cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. Cook the rice as per the packet instructions.
3. Meanwhile, add 1 tsp of oil to a griddle pan on a medium heat. Cook the tofu in the pan for 6 mins on each side or until it’s nicely charred – brush the leftover marinade over the tofu as it cooks.
