First, cut a the tofu block into 4 filets, score diagonally in both directions on the surface to allow it to soak up more sauce.
Dip each tofu filet in teriyaki sauce. Saute or grill tofu for about 10 minutes (flip halfway through if it’s a pan).
Finely dice everything for the mango salsa and add into a bowl!
Cook your rice. To make a classic white jasmine rice, bring 2 cups of water to a bowl, add 1 cup of rice, turn down heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
Assemble the bowls with rice on the bottom, then the tofu, then topped with the mango salsa. Feel free to garnish with sesame seeds and a fresh squeezed lime juice.

Make a double batch of mango salsa and use the rest to go with my Bean and Sweet Potato Tacos for another meal!

To make your rice extra fluffy, use an instant pot.

The slices in the tofu help for the tofu to absorb the teriyaki sauce.

If you cook your rice ahead of time, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to it and stir so it does not stick.

Use a paper towel, a dish towel, or a tofu press to release excess liquid from the tofu before putting on the sauce.
