Teriyaki Tofu-

1. Drain tofu and dry with paper towels.
2. Cut tofu into ½ inch thick slices, then cut into triangles.
3. Arrange tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Cover with additional towels, lightly press and allow to dry for about 10 minutes. In the meanwhile, make the teriyaki sauce.
4. In a medium-sized bowl whisk together 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 tablespoon garlic, ⅓ cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 cup water and ¼ teaspoon sesame oil. Set aside.

6. Cook half of the tofu for 2 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
7. Turn over and cook another 2 minutes.
8. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with the remaining tofu triangles, adding a little more oil if needed.
9. Whisk the teriyaki sauce and add to the non-stick pan. Allow to come to a boil and cook for about 1 minute until thickened, whisking the entire time.
10. Add in tofu, stir to coat and turn off heat. Cover to keep warm.

Cauliflower Rice-
