Directions

  1. 1Press the tofu using a plate, towel and a weight on top
  2. 2Slice the tofu into two steaks and slice thinly all the way along at 2-3mm intervals, using chopsticks to prevent the knife going all the way through.
  3. 3Combine teriyaki, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime zest, lime juice and ginger for the sauce.
  4. 4Add most of the sauce to the tofu, saving some for topping, and push the sauce into the grooves to get as much flavour into the tofu as possible.
  5. 5Prepare toppings: chop spring onions and chilli.
  6. 6Bake the tofu in the oven.
  7. 7Plate up: serve the tofu on rice with cucumber, spring onions, chilli and sesame seeds.
