ingredient

12 ounces tofu, extra firm, (or 16-ounce package)

2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup water
½ teaspoon sesame oil, divided
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups cauliflower rice, about 1 large head grated
¼ cup green onions, thinly sliced
sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

Drain tofu and dry with paper towels. Cut tofu into ½-inch thick slices, then cut into triangles.
Arrange tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Cover with additional towels, lightly press and allow to dry for about 10 minutes. In the meanwhile, make the teriyaki sauce.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 tablespoon garlic, ⅓ cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 cup water, and ¼ teaspoon sesame oil. Set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Cook half of the tofu for 2 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crisp. Turn over and cook another 2 minutes.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tofu triangles, adding a little more oil if needed.
Whisk the teriyaki sauce and add to the non-stick pan. Allow to come to a boil and cook for about 1 minute until thickened, whisking the entire time.
Add in tofu, stir to coat and turn off the heat. Cover to keep warm.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and ¼ teaspoon sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add 1 teaspoon ginger and 1 tablespoon garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Add the cauliflower rice and stir-fry for another minute. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring every few minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper as desired. Cover until ready to serve.
To Serve, equally portion out cauliflower rice, top with teriyaki tofu, top with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with additional vegetables if desired.
