Teriyaki Sauce

9. Mirin x 1 tbsp

10. Water x 3 tbsp

11. Corn flour x 2 tsp mixed with 1 tbsp water to form slurry

Garnish / Wrap Ingredients (Optional)

1. Cut the tofu into fingers.

2. Mix 4 tbsp of potato starch with ¼ tsp of pink salt and a few shakes of pepper.

3. Coat the tofu fingers in the potato starch mixture.

4. Heat about 5 tbsp of cooking oil in a pan. The oil should cover around ⅔ of your pan's base. Adjust the amount of oil if you're using a different sized pan.

5. Pan fry the tofu fingers until they're crispy and golden brown.

6. Put the crispy fried tofu on a plate lined with a kitchen towel to drain off the oil.

7. Make the teriyaki sauce. Skip these steps if you're using store bought sauce.

7a. Add soy sauce, sake, mirin, water, maple syrup and corn flour slurry into a small saucepan.

7b. Boil for about 1 min to cook the corn flour and evaporate the alcohol from the sake.

7c. Taste the sauce. If you find it too salty, add more water and corn flour if necessary.

7d. The sauce should have a syrupy consistency.

8. Drizzle the teriyaki sauce over the fried tofu.

9. Optional: Sprinkle some sesame seeds on it.

10. Serve warm with rice, or in a wrap. If you're making a wrap, assemble the wrap as shown in the picture below.

11. Enjoy!
