Teriyaki Tofu Don

This easy Teriyaki Tofu Don is a crispy, flavorful rice bowl topped with golden tofu and sweet teriyaki sauce. A quick 25-minute meal perfect for weeknights, it's high in protein and packed with umami goodness!

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 16 ounces firm tofu cubed
  • ¼ cup potato starch or cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • cup teriyaki sauce
  • cups cooked Japanese rice
  • Japanese Mayonnaise see below, optional
  • 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
  • Pinch of daikon microgreens or 1 small chopped scallion

Instructions
 

  • Add 2 tablespoons of the canola oil and the chopped onion to a skillet and sauté over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, then transfer it to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the tofu and potato starch in a bowl. Stir well to coat the tofu pieces completely.
  • Sauté the tofu in the remaining canola oil in the empty skillet until the tofu turns crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drizzle with the sesame oil and add the onion, then reduce the heat to low and add the teriyaki sauce. Mix well.
  • Divide the rice between two bowls and top with the tofu mixture. Drizzle with the mayonnaise, if using, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and microgreens before serving.
