Servings: 2

Ingredients:

• 9 oz of tofu, cut into cubes
• 3 oz of broccoli
• 2 oz of soybeans (edamame)
• 3-3.5 oz of green beans

For the teriyaki:

• ¼ cup of soy sauce
• ¼ cup water + 1 Tsp

Directions:

1. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, preheat the oven at 420F. Season the tofu with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roast tofu for about 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, cook the teriyaki sauce. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tsp of water.  In a medium saucepan combine soy sauce, water (¼ cup), brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds. Cook for 2 minutes on medium heat, then stir in corn starch. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until thickened.
3. Blanch the vegetables in boiling hot water for 2 minutes and then transfer them into the ice-bath for 30 seconds, this will help them to stay green and crispy. Season with salt and pepper and combine with tofu and teriyaki sauce.
