Ingredients

Scale

For the Tofu:

  • 1 block extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

For the Rice:

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Avocado:

  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Marinate Tofu: In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the pressed and cubed tofu thoroughly in this dry mixture until each piece is evenly coated, ensuring a crispy texture once cooked.
  2. Cook Tofu: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated tofu cubes and cook them, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy, approximately 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Make Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and sesame oil until well combined to create a flavorful teriyaki sauce.
  4. Cook Rice: In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the brown rice and salt, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
  5. Assemble: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice, followed by sliced avocado and the crispy tofu cubes on top. Drizzle generously with the prepared teriyaki sauce to finish.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the dish immediately while the tofu is still crispy and the flavors are fresh and vibrant.

Notes

  • Pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture is essential for getting a crispy exterior when cooking.
  • You can substitute brown rice with white rice or quinoa if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • This dish is best served fresh to maintain tofu crispiness; leftovers can be reheated but tofu may soften.
