Ingredients
- Firm or extra-firm tofu
- Teriyaki sauce
- Sushi rice (or jasmine or brown rice)
- Ripe avocados
- Fresh vegetables (like cucumber, carrots, or radishes)
- Toasted sesame seeds (or chopped nuts like peanuts or almonds)
- Sliced green onions (or chives)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 15-20 minutes. Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
- Marinate the Tofu: In a bowl, mix the tofu cubes with teriyaki sauce, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Rice: While the tofu is marinating, cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set it aside to cool slightly.
- Fry the Tofu: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes, frying until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare the Avocado: While the tofu is cooking, slice the ripe avocado into thin pieces. You can also mash it if you prefer a spreadable texture.
- Assemble the Stack: In a serving dish, start with a layer of rice, followed by a layer of crispy tofu, then add a layer of avocado. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of avocado on top.
- Garnish: Top your stack with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve: Enjoy your Crispy Teriyaki Tofu And Avocado Rice Stack immediately while it's still warm!
