Operating: Cooking Instructions

Hodo Japanese Teriyaki Tofu is fully cooked and designed for quick heating. Choose your preferred method below.

Stovetop Method (Recommended for best results):

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., sesame oil) if desired for extra flavor and browning.
2. Add the separated tofu pieces to the hot skillet.
3. Sauté the tofu for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned.
4. Pour the desired amount of teriyaki sauce over the tofu. Stir to coat evenly.
5. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat and thicken slightly.
6. Serve immediately.

Alternative Methods:

• Microwave: Place tofu in a microwave-safe dish. Heat for 1-2 minutes, then add sauce and heat for an additional 30-60 seconds until warm.
• Air Fryer: Arrange tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes, shaking halfway through, until heated. Toss with sauce after heating.

Troubleshooting

Addressing common questions and concerns:

Tofu appears as a solid block and is not pre-marinated.

The Hodo Japanese Teriyaki Tofu product consists of a block of pre-cut tofu and separate sauce packets. It is not pre-marinated. The tofu is designed to be separated and heated, then combined with the sauce during cooking.

The sauce is too salty.

The product includes two sauce packets to allow for taste preference. If you find the sauce too salty, use only one packet or adjust the quantity to your liking. You may also dilute it slightly with water or a neutral broth.

Tofu pieces are sticking together.

This is normal. Gently separate the pre-cut tofu pieces before adding them to the cooking surface. A spatula can assist in breaking them apart in the pan.
