Breaded Tofu with Teriyaki Sauce

Last last Sunday, my sister prodded me to cook something that will complement her chicken adobo for lunch. At first, I thought of preparing veggies on the side, but then it seems like it's time to take a break from the greens and explore other alternatives. Since we haven't had tofu for quite sometime, it's just the perfect timing to try Breaded Tofu with Teriyaki Sauce.

2 large blocks tofu (i used the UFO brand)
1 egg (slightly beaten)
1 c Japanese breadcrumbs
oil for frying (use virgin coconut oil or olive oil for a healthier alternative)

Drain tofu in paper towels to get rid of excess water. Slice into serving pieces. Dip in egg and dredge in breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Fry in hot oil over medium heat until golden brown in color. Drain in paper towels. Serve hot with teriyaki sauce.

Teriyaki Sauce:
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 c soy sauce
2 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 c water
1/4 c sugar (adjust according to taste)

Mix everything together in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat until thick in consistency for about 10 minutes.
