Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 5 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sherry
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
• 3 tablespoons vegetarian teriyaki sauce
• 1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into slices

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk teriyaki sauce, green onions, sherry, garlic, Sriracha sauce, and ginger paste together until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Place cornstarch in a 1-gallon zip-top bag. Drop tofu slices into the bag, seal, and gently shake until all tofu is coated.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu for 5 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook until browned on the second side, about 5 minutes more. Transfer the tofu to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.

Step 4

Pour reserved sauce into the skillet and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Return tofu to the skillet and toss to combine.

Step 5

Transfer the tofu to serving plates and spoon sauce on top just before serving.
