8. Fry vegetables for about 3-5 minutes over medium heat until they are cooked, but not soft.

Recipe Notes

Professionals Tips:

• Make sure to drain and push your tofu well.
• After cooking, add the thickened teriyaki sauce so that it does not stick and does not burn the pan.
• Marinate tofu for at least 15 minutes. You can marinate it a day or two in advance, but be sure to keep it in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
