Teriyaki Ground Beef

Crumble the pressed tofu using your hands or a fork until it resembles the texture of ground beef.

Place the tofu crumbles in a bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss gently until the tofu is evenly coated—this helps it get perfectly crispy!

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu crumbles and pan-fry for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

While the tofu is cooking, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.

Once the tofu is crispy, reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and thoroughly coats every crumble.

Remove from heat. Serve hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.

Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
