This teriyaki tofu recipe is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in just thirty minutes from start to finish. Tofu is such an amazing plant based protein that's packed with iron and calcium, making it perfect for keeping you satisfied and energized. The best part? It's incredibly budget friendly and uses simple ingredients you probably already have at home. I love how the crispy tofu soaks up all that savory teriyaki sauce while the broccoli stays perfectly tender. Serve it over rice or noodles and you've got yourself a delicious, wholesome meal that tastes like you spent way more time cooking than you actually did.
