Ingredients & Inspiration

I love a good stir fry. They’re not that difficult to whip up and you can use any variety of vegetables you like. Whisking up a sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce is also pretty simple too. BUT are there some nights where I’d rather not stand at the stove stir-frying my veggies, warming up the teriyaki sauce, and monitoring my rice or noodles? Absolutely! That’s where this incredibly delicious Tofu Teriyaki Casserole comes in — you can literally dump all your typical stir fry ingredients into a casserole dish, pop it in the oven and walk away!

The end result is a fabulously seasoned teriyaki rice bowl situation that the whole family will gobble up. Or you can easily divide extra portions into meal-prep containers for a week of tasty lunches!

Here’s a quick breakdown of the simple and healthy ingredients you’ll need to make this dish:

  • soy sauce or tamari
  • coconut or brown sugar
  • mirin
  • garlic
  • fresh ginger
  • broccoli crowns
  • carrots
  • green beans
  • extra firm tofu
  • edamame
  • jasmine rice

How to Make Tofu Teriyaki Casserole

The great thing about dump-and-bake meals is that you literally just dump the ingredients in a dish, bake it, and walk away. And that’s precisely how to go about preparing this Tofu Teriyaki Casserole!

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Whisk together the teriyaki sauce ingredients in a small pot and bring to a rapid simmer.
  3. While the sauce heats up, chop your veggies and tofu and add to a 9×13 casserole dish, along with the rice and edamame. Evenly pour the teriyaki sauce over the veggies, and press the rice into the liquid.
  4. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the veggies are tender and the rice is cooked.
