This is a super-tasty restaurant-type teriyaki tofu bowl.
Even if you think you don’t like tofu, give it a try! Tofu doesn’t have much flavor on it’s own. It’s all about what you add to it, and this recipe adds lots of fantastic flavors.
Admittedly, there are a few steps to making this recipe, but the end result is well worth it. And it all comes together very quickly.
Using the Instant Pot to make some rice does save some time, and it makes the perfect dinner or a tasty lunch.
Using the extra-firm tofu helps your cubes stay cubes, so be sure to read the package when you’re buying the tofu. (Not that crumbled tofu wouldn’t be tasty, it’s just a prettier dish with the cubes – and they’re easier to eat with chopsticks).
