Sticky, Teriyaki Tofu Made With Maple Syrup
Serve this teriyaki tofu with brown rice, noodles, cracked wheat, or quinoa.
Equipment
- Chopping board
- Large knife
- Air fryer, frying pan or oven
Ingredients
- 400 g block hard tofu It's best to try and always buy organic when it comes to tofu to avoid GMO products.
- 1/3rd cup water
- ΒΌ cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp soy or tamari sauce
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 heaped tbsp cornflour
Instructions
- Line an air fryer tray with tin foil and turn it slightly upwards at the edges so that your sauce stays inside. If you're using your oven, then line a baking sheet instead.
- Cut your tofu in roughly 16-24 pieces and lay flat on the tin foil.
- In a small bowl, mix your cornflour with a little of the water to form a paste. Then mix in the rest of the teriyaki sauce ingredients and pour half over your tofu pieces until well covered. If lots of the sauce runs off the edges, spoon it up and cover the tofu again.You will be using the other half of your teriyaki sauce to heat separately and spoon over the top afterwards. If you put all your sauce onto your tofu, you will find that it will dry out too much and there won't be much left by the end of cooking time.
- Put into your air fryer at 185 F. Alternatively you can use your oven by lining a baking sheet with tin foil OR fry in your frying pan by adding the tofu first and drizzling the teriyaki sauce on, then fry gently.
- About 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, gently heat the rest of your teriyaki mix until bubbling. Spoon over your tofu after you have plated up.
- Serve with rice or noodles with stir fried vegetables.
