Soft Teriyaki Tofu Cubes

Ingredients

• 100g firm tofu
• 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)

Method

1. 01

   Press firm tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut into 2 cm cubes.

2. 02

   Mix a small amount of low-sodium soy sauce with a touch of sesame oil and a tiny bit of ginger to make a mild teriyaki-style marinade.

3. 03

   Toss tofu cubes gently in the marinade. Let sit 5 minutes.

4. 04

   Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook tofu cubes 3–4 minutes per side until lightly golden and warmed through.

5. 05

   Cool completely before serving. Tofu should remain soft — not crispy.

How to offer

Place 3–4 tofu cubes on the high chair tray. Always supervise during feeding. Tofu cubes are naturally soft and easy for a 6-month-old to pick up. Note this recipe contains soy — a common allergen. Introduce soy separately before using in a mixed dish.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 days. Not ideal for freezing as texture changes. Reheat gently in pan.
