Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a glass, combine thoroughly water and cornstarch.In a small saucepan, add all the sauce ingredients, including minced garlic and ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly for approximately 3-4 minutes. Once done, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool. Store the teriyaki sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week. This recipe yields about ¾ cups.
Prepare the Crispy Teriyaki Tofu Puffs: Follow the recipe on our blog for the Crispy Teriyaki Tofu Puffs, which combines the marinated teriyaki sauce with pressed tofu, creating a light and crispy coating. Once the puffs are ready, set them aside.
Cook the Steamed Jasmine Rice: Refer to our blog post for the recipe on how to make perfectly fluffy Steamed Jasmine Rice. Follow the instructions to cook the rice to perfection, ensuring it is light, fragrant, and ready to serve as the base of your rice bowl.
Optionally Grill the Pineapple Chunks: If you prefer a smoky and caramelized flavor, you can grill the fresh pineapple chunks. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the pineapple chunks on the grill and cook for a few minutes on each side until grill marks appear. Set aside.
Assemble the Tofu Rice Bowl: Start by scooping a generous portion of Steamed Jasmine Rice into each bowl. Top it with the sautéed green onions, broccoli, and a few fresh pineapple chunks for a burst of sweetness. Place the Teriyaki Tofu Puffs on the rice bed, allowing their flavors to mingle. Drizzle the entire bowl with the prepared teriyaki sauce.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bowl for added texture and a touch of nuttiness. You can also add additional chopped green onions for a pop of color. Serve the Hawaiian Tofu Rice Bowl immediately while it's still warm, and enjoy the delectable blend of flavors and textures!
