Instructions
Press and Cube Tofu
Press tofu firmly between paper towels or a clean cloth to remove as much moisture as possible. Cut into 1 inch cubes and season lightly with salt. Removing moisture is essential for achieving crispy tofu.
Make Teriyaki Sauce
Whisk together soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside. This simple three ingredient sauce delivers bold teriyaki flavor in seconds.
Crisp the Tofu
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add tofu in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side without moving until deeply golden and crispy on all sides.
Add Peppers and Sauce
Add sliced bell peppers to the pan and toss with tofu. Pour teriyaki sauce over everything and cook for 2 minutes until sauce caramelizes slightly and peppers are just tender crisp. Serve over rice.
