Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 block Firm Tofu on a clean surface. Use paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to press out as much excess water as possible. Once pressed, cut the tofu into 2.54 cm cubes.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup Soy Sauce, 2 tablespoons Mirin, 1 tablespoon Sugar, 1 teaspoon Ginger, and 1 clove Garlic until well combined.
3. 3Place the 2 tablespoons Cornstarch in a shallow dish. Add the tofu cubes to the cornstarch and toss gently until each cube is evenly coated.
4. 4Heat the 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil in a 25.4 cm non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, about 204.4°C (200°C). Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the coated tofu cubes in a single layer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
5. 5Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the crispy tofu in the skillet. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce has thickened and coats the tofu.
6. 6Prepare your bento boxes. Divide the 4 cups Cooked Rice among the boxes. Add a portion of the crispy tofu teriyaki to each box. Arrange the 1 cup Pickled Radishes and 1 cup Edamame alongside the rice and tofu.
