Ingredients Tap to check off
Instructions
1
Combine rinsed jasmine rice, water, and a pinch of salt in a small pot over high heat, bringing to a rolling boil.
2
Cover tightly with a lid, reduce heat to low, and cook undisturbed for 12 minutes until grains are tender and fluffy.
3
While rice simmers, slice cucumber into crunchy rounds and place into serving bowls with thawed sweet edamame.
4
Whisk soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, and minced garlic together in a small bowl to create sweet teriyaki dipping sauce.
5
Slice extra-firm tofu into finger-sized batons, patting thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove excess surface moisture.
6
In a shallow dish, combine cornstarch, sesame seeds, remaining salt, and black pepper, rolling tofu batons until evenly crusted.
7
Heat neutral vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
8
Arrange tofu dippers in the skillet, searing undisturbed for 3 minutes per side until all surfaces are golden-brown and crisp.
9
Remove skillet from heat and transfer crispy sesame tofu dippers to a paper-towel-lined plate for 1 minute.
10
Fluff warm jasmine rice, divide between bowls with edamame and cucumbers, serving golden tofu dippers with sweet teriyaki sauce.
