Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Teriyaki Grilled Tofu Bowls.
Step 1
Start by slicing the tofu into four thick pieces and letting it soak in a delicious marinade made from one-third cup of teriyaki sauce while you prepare the colorful vegetables.
Step 2
Next, take a vibrant red bell pepper and cut it into four wedges, making sure to remove the core and seeds.
Step 3
For the zucchini, simply trim the ends and slice each one in half lengthwise.
Step 4
Then, slice the pineapple into four wedges and quarter the onion.
Step 5
Arrange all these beautiful veggies and the pineapple on a large platter, giving them a light brush of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
Step 6
Now it’s time to fire up the grill! Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Once it’s hot, place the onion on the grill and let it cook for about four minutes, turning it halfway through for even grilling.
Step 8
After that, add the bell pepper, zucchini, and pineapple to the grill.
Step 9
Keep an eye on them, turning occasionally, until they reach your desired level of tenderness, which should take around eight to ten minutes.
Step 10
As each piece finishes cooking, transfer it to a platter and let it cool slightly before cutting everything into bite-sized pieces.
Step 11
While the veggies are grilling, it’s time to give the marinated tofu some love.
Step 12
Remove it from the marinade and place it on the grill, cooking for two to three minutes on each side until those beautiful grill marks appear.
Step 13
Now, let’s bring it all together! Divide steaming hot rice among four bowls, creating a cozy base for your meal.
Step 14
Top each bowl with the grilled vegetables, juicy pineapple, and perfectly grilled tofu.
Step 15
For the finishing touch, drizzle the remaining one-third cup of teriyaki sauce over everything and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a delightful crunch.
Step 16
Serve your colorful, flavorful bowls and enjoy a delicious meal that’s not only satisfying but also a feast for the eyes!.
