Teriyaki Tofu Sticks
My most popular tofu recipe by far, and with good reason. The combination of nori seaweed and teriyaki sauce creates this flavour bomb that is delicious and addictive. It's a super easy recipe and the most fiddly part is wrapping the tofu sticks in seaweed individually, but it's definitely worth it. The nori also adds a little extra texture, so if you've never liked tofu, try this and let me change your mind!
Some have also said that the use of seaweed means it takes on the flavour of fish, so I guess this makes it a vegan fish recipe?

Ingredients
- 300g firm tofu, cut into equal sized sticks
- 1-2 sheets of nori seaweed, cut to size suitable for wrapping around tofu
- 30g cornflour (cornstarch)
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp brown sugar, or honey
- 3 tbsps light soy sauce
- 5 tbsps water
Pair it with
Instructions
- Mix the sauces together and set aside.
- Dip the pieces of cut seaweed lightly in water before wrapping it around each piece of tofu.
- Coat each piece of wrapped tofu generously in cornflour, covering all sides
- Heat up a pan with cooking oil and gently pan fry until golden brown.
- When the tofu is all cooked, turn the heat down to low and pour the teriyaki sauce over it. Let the water evaporate and sauce thicken, turning the tofu slightly to ensure all sides are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle on some sesame seeds as garnish and serve immediately with some rice or just by itself.
