• 2 cups dry jasmine rice
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 green onions, sliced thin

3. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.

5. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu in the pan and toss gently, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats every piece in a shiny glaze.
