Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
400g firm tofu, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets with stalks peeled and thinly sliced
1 bunch of spring onions, separated into white and green parts and thinly sliced
8-10 tbsp teriyaki sauce
cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Transfer the cooked tofu to a clean plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and the sliced white parts of the spring onions. Cook for approximately 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is tender-crisp but still maintains some firmness. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and stir well to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and gently fold it into the broccoli and sauce mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until all ingredients are warmed through and the flavors have melded together. Remove from heat, top with the reserved sliced green parts of the spring onions, and serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
Comments
Teriyaki tofu checks nearly every box for a Charlotte weeknight: firm tofu, broccoli, and spring onions are stocked at every major chain, and a jar of teriyaki sauce from Kroger, Harris Teeter, or Walmart costs $3–4 and keeps indefinitely. The real catch is honesty about time—the stated 30 minutes assumes pressed tofu ready to go, but pressing it properly takes 15–20 minutes on its own, pushing the actual cook to 45 minutes if you start from a block. At six servings and under $10 total, the cost per plate lands around $1.50, which is solid. Rice reheats perfectly, and the stir-fried vegetables stay tender-firm even the next day, making this a reliable meal-prep choice for families with vegetarians or anyone eating lighter.
