Yields: 5-6 lettuce cups to serve 2
Ingredients
  • 14-oz block tofu, drained and pressed
  • 3/4 cup teriyaki sauce (bottled or homemade - double the linked teriyaki sauce recipe if using)
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 5-6 lettuce leaves (Bibb or butter lettuce works well)
  • 1/3 cup chopped roasted red peppers (jarred ones work well)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425. Cube the tofu and, in a bowl or baking dish, toss with 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce. Marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread marinated tofu in an even layer and drizzle with any teriyaki sauce that remains in the bowl. Bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce. Stir to coat and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the teriyaki sauce begins to blacken.
  3. In the meantime, bring rice to a simmer in a small pot with 3/4 cup water. Simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
  4. Once tofu is done, you are ready to serve! Place a scoop of rice in each lettuce leaf and top with cubes of tofu, chopped roasted red peppers, green onions, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
