Tofu is such a versatile protein and this one uses that to it's full advantage. I pressed my tofu for twenty minutes before tossing it into the marinade to maximize the amount of sauce absorbed in the fridge. I really liked the way that also meant on cooking the tofu had some nice carmelization and crispiness on the outside with a softer center. I used bit of vegetables left in the crisper instead of frozen ones as that was a more economical option and the mix included carrots, snap peas, asparagus, red and orange peppers and bean sprouts. Mushrooms would have also been perfect here as well as some water chestnuts. Even with the garlic, I did find the teriyaki sauce a tad too sweet and added a smidge of chili sauce. Made for Photo Tag.
