This bowl with teriyaki tofu and rice is a perfect dinner recipe. Marinating the tofu in a homemade teriyaki sauce brings out the full flavor.

Hi dears,

I think we all know the situation, when we miss some recipes and dishes we ate before becoming vegan. Once in a while one of these dishes is coming to my mind and that’s the moment, when I make it a challenge. A challenge to veganize my favorite recipes and make it still edible for me. Even the taste is not always completely the same, it makes me happy to create a vegan option for those cravings.

As you might guess, this bowl here with rice and tofu teriyaki is also one of the results of this kind of challenge. I loved to eat salmon teriyaki so much that I needed to find a substitute for it. And actually is wasn’t difficult at all as I just replaced the salmon by some nice tofu cubes.

And just as a little tip: If your partner or friends you are cooking with are not vegan, you can use the same recipe and cook a vegan version and one version with salmon (fresh). I do it always like this, as my partner still eats fish and it works very well.

I hope you like the recipe! It goes very well with some fresh salad such as cucumber and tomatoes.
