Hasselback Teriyaki Tofu Steaks
This is our new way of enjoying tofu. Slicing grooves into the tofu helps it absorb more flavour while it’s cooking, resulting in a simple and seriously delicious Japanese-inspired dish.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- block of firm tofu, drained
- teriyaki sauce
- light soy sauce
- maple syrup
- lime, juice + zest
- fresh ginger, peeled + grated
- salt
- jasmine rice
- cucumber, sliced
- spring onion, sliced
- red chilli, sliced
- sesame seeds, for topping
Method
- 1
Press the tofu (see notes) for 10-15 minutes, then slice the block in half so you’re left with two large rectangle ‘steaks’.
- 2
Meanwhile combine the teriyaki sauce, light soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, lime zest and ginger in a bowl. Depending on the brand of teriyaki sauce, you might want to season with a small pinch of salt, then set aside.
- 3
Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 425°F (see notes about leaving the tofu to marinade).
- 4
Place one piece of tofu between two chopsticks and slice down into the tofu (this will prevent the knife going all the way through) all the way along at 3mm (0.1”) long intervals. Repeat for the remaining piece of tofu.
- 5
Line a small baking tray with baking paper, then add the pieces of tofu. Pour most of the sauce on top of the tofu - leaving a few spoonfuls in the bowl for topping with later. Then use a spoon to push the sauce into the grooves.
- 6
Bake the tofu for 30-40 minutes, until it’s crispy and charred around the edges.
- 7
Meanwhile, cook the rice in a saucepan as per the packet instructions, then leave to one side with the lid on.
- 8
To serve, add the cooked rice to bowls, followed by the cucumber and tofu ‘steaks’. Spoon the remaining sauce on top of the tofu, then top with the spring onion, red chilli and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

“wonderful flavors- loved the lime coming through! my sauce was runny, not thick as in your video, therefore I basted the steaks during baking, and flipped them once. nice!”
