So you're avoiding meat for now, but you don't want to miss having a meal of substance. You aren't about to eat bird seed and twigs. Meatless doesn't mean a meal that won't put meat on your bones! Here, crispy tofu offers a delightful texture and flavor. Drizzled with a teriyaki-ginger sauce both sweet and tangy, there's nothing a chicken or cow can provide this meal can't.
