Description

Crispy teriyaki tofu meets tangy kimchi and a creamy spicy mayo in this flavor-packed, plant-based rice bowl. A perfect mix of textures and bold tastes in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup kimchi
  • 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon black and white sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Line a plate with paper towels for pressing tofu if needed.
  2. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth. In another bowl, whisk vegan mayo and sriracha until creamy.
  3. Add a splash of oil to the hot skillet. Place tofu cubes into a mixing bowl and toss with a light coating of cornstarch before adding to the skillet.
  4. While tofu crisps, steam or blanch the broccoli for 1–2 minutes until bright green. Warm rice if needed.
  5. Flip tofu occasionally until golden on all sides. Pour the teriyaki sauce over and stir gently until thick and glossy.
  6. Scoop rice into bowls. Top with teriyaki tofu, broccoli, and a generous spoon of kimchi. Drizzle with kimchi mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Serve warm with extra sauce or sriracha on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for best texture.
  • Don’t skip pressing the tofu for crisp results.
  • Double the sauce if you love it extra saucy.
  • Warm the kimchi slightly to blend better with the dish.
