Bring it together
Now, pour your Teriyaki sauce into the pan with the Tofu and gently simmer until the steaks take on a glaze.

Asian-inspired Side Dishes:

Enhance the Asian flair of your dish by serving it with keto-friendly side dishes like sesame broccoli, stir-fried bok choy, or a cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar and sesame oil.

These sides provide a fresh and crunchy complement to the succulent prawns.

Tofu is a fantastic option to add to your keto meal planning. Delicious crispy meaty and gluten-free these are good to serve as a side dish as a main course or accompanying your barbeque.

True that Tofu contains carbohydrates but only a low amount so it is still keto-friendly. Adding tofu is also a great way to incorporate protein into your diet.

Notes

➡ Zesty Citrus Fusion:

Infuse your teriyaki tofu steaks with a burst of citrusy flavor by adding a dash of orange or lemon zest to the marinade. The citrus notes will add a refreshing and lively dimension to the dish.

➡ Sesame Ginger Infusion:

Elevate the marinade by incorporating freshly grated ginger into the mix. The aromatic warmth of ginger pairs wonderfully with the teriyaki sauce, creating a dynamic and delightful taste.

➡ Coconut Aminos Wonder:

Swap out the soy sauce for coconut aminos, a soy-free and gluten-free alternative. This variation brings a slightly sweeter and milder taste to the dish while maintaining its essence.
