Directions

  1. 1Press the tofu using a plate and kitchen towel.
  2. 2Slice the tofu into two steaks and then make slices all the way along at 2-3 mm intervals using chopsticks to prevent the knife going all the way through.
  3. 3Combine teriyaki with soy sauce, maple syrup, lime zest, lime juice and ginger.
  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. 5Bake the tofu in the oven.
  6. 6Prepare the toppings: chop spring onions and red chili.
  7. 7Plate up: rice, cucumber, tofu, spring onions, red chili and sesame seeds.
