Vegan Teriyaki Tofu Stir Fry, Semi Homemade

Last Updated on May 14, 2019

Vegan teriyaki stir fry is a semi homemade side dish served with rice. Using store bought frozen teriyaki vegetables with teriyaki sauce makes the preparation a breeze. A packet of teriyaki vegetables comes with a mix of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots along with some teriyaki sauce. Stir fry tofu in some oil, cook vegetables separately with teriyaki sauce, combine both and stir fry until flavors blend in. Serve with/without rice.

For the second day of Stir Fries, I made vegan teriyaki tofu with vegetables, a quick and easy stir fry. Cooking process is even more quicker and simplified with the use of store bought frozen teriyaki vegetables, thus making it a semi homemade recipe.

Teriyaki tofu stir fry is from a cookbook, Cooking Light – way to cook vegetarian. I made half the recipe with extra spice to my taste. Despite that, teriyaki tofu was on the milder side. It is served with rice but I ate it for lunch as is, as I am trying to cut back on my carb intake.
