Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Firm Yellow Tofu 6 pieces
Nori Sheets 2 sheets, cut to fit the tofu
All-Purpose Flour As needed
Salt To taste
Ground Black Pepper To taste
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
Garlic 1 large clove, finely chopped
Teriyaki Sauce 1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce 1 tablespoon
Cornstarch 1 teaspoon, dissolved in a little water
Water As needed
Sesame Seeds For garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Begin by draining the firm yellow tofu and patting it dry with a clean towel. This step helps to remove excess moisture, allowing for better frying. Cut each block of tofu into your desired shapes—typically rectangles or cubes work best.

  2. Coat the Tofu: In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste. Take the top of each tofu piece and dip it into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Add a few drops of water to help the nori adhere better.

  3. Wrap with Nori: Carefully place a piece of nori on the floured top of the tofu, pressing gently to secure it. This adds a wonderful umami flavor and a crispy texture once fried.

  4. Fry the Tofu: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully roll the tofu in the remaining flour to ensure an even coat. Fry the tofu, nori-side down, until golden brown and crispy. For best results, avoid flipping the tofu. Instead, use a spoon to ladle hot oil over the tops until the bottoms are perfectly cooked. Once done, remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  5. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a separate saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, taking care not to burn it. Pour in the water, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.

  6. Thicken the Sauce: Add the dissolved cornstarch to the saucepan and stir continuously as the sauce thickens. Allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.

  7. Serve: Arrange the crispy tofu on a serving plate. Generously drizzle the warm teriyaki sauce over the tofu, and if you remember, sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Enjoy your Tahu Nori with Teriyaki Sauce as a delightful appetizer or a flavorful side dish. It’s sure to impress your family and friends alike!
