6. Tofu with a teriyaki-style glaze
Pat dry a package of firm tofu and cut it into even slabs. Brown gently in a lightly oiled nonstick skillet, turning only after the first side releases. Handle it with a wide spatula so the slices keep their shape.
Add a small amount of a ready-made teriyaki sauce and the water suggested on its label, then simmer gently until the tofu is hot and coated. A little sauce is enough to start; reducing a large amount can make the dish far saltier than intended.
Serve with rice and cooked broccoli or another vegetable. This is a convenient glazed-tofu dinner rather than a universal definition of teriyaki. Check the sauce for wheat and soy, and use a suitable product if you need an alternative. Heat and store tofu according to its own package instructions.
