Ingredients:
-1 block of extra firm tofu
-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-1/4 cup cornstarch
-1 teaspoon garlic powder
-1 teaspoon onion powder
-Salt and pepper to taste
-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
-3 tablespoons soy sauce
-2 tablespoons mirin (rice wine)
-2 tablespoons brown sugar
-2 tablespoons honey
-1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
-1 tablespoon sesame oil
-2 cloves garlic, mincedAs a stay at home parent, I often find myself looking for new recipes that are healthy, easy to make, and that my family will enjoy. Fried tofu with teriyaki sauce is one of our favorites! Not only is it a delicious dinner option that doesn’t require a lot of prep time or ingredients, but it’s also vegan, gluten free, and packed with flavor. Plus, it’s an ideal way to use up any extra tofu you might have in the pantry.
To begin making this tasty dish, start by pressing the tofu to remove excess water. Cut the block into cubes and set aside. In a shallow dish or bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Toss the tofu cubes in the mixture until they’re evenly coated. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, honey, ginger, sesame oil and garlic. Pour the mixture into the same skillet used for frying the tofu and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and add the cooked tofu cubes back into the skillet with the teriyaki sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly in the sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened slightly.
This delicious fried tofu with teriyaki sauce is best served over steamed white or brown rice and topped with sesame seeds and green onions for an extra kick of flavor.

“Cook up a Feast! Fried Fish with Tartar Sauce and Lemon – A Perfect Meal for Stay at Home Parents”
Fried Fish with Tartar Sauce and Lemon
As a stay-at-home parent, I often find myself looking for easy, delicious meals that I can prepare for my family. One of our favorite dishes is fried fish with tartar sauce and lemon. Not only is this meal quick and easy to make, but it’s also incredibly flavorful and the tartar sauce and lemon add the perfect amount of brightness to the dish.
The ingredients for this meal are simple: fish fillets, flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, salt, pepper, eggs, oil for frying, tartar sauce, and lemons. To start, I combine the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Then I dip the fish fillets in the egg mixture (two eggs beaten together with a few tablespoons of water) before coating them with the flour mixture.
Next, I heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once it is hot enough (I test it by dropping a pinch of flour in the oil; if it sizzles and bubbles immediately then it’s ready), I place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook them until they are golden brown on both sides.
Once the fish is cooked through (I test it by inserting a fork into the center of one of the fillets; if it flakes easily then it’s done), I transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Finally, I serve them alongside lemon wedges and tartar sauce for an extra zing!
One of my favorite parts about making this meal is telling my children about how my grandmother used to make fried fish for us when we were kids. The smell of fried fish would always fill her kitchen and we would all gather around as she piled plates high with tender flaky fillets and tartar sauce. Even though she is no longer here with us physically, every time we make this meal together as a family I feel her presence in that same way.

Then I carefully place each piece of chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
