The natural umami found in meat and seafood is satiating. It makes you crave for the food. That’s why we often hear people say ‘I’m so hungry that I can easily chow down a giant hamburger’.Whether you’re vegetarian or vegan, or just looking to adopt more plant-based eating, Japanese cooking could be your next choice that caters to a meat-free food lifestyle. There are plenty of vegetables and ingredients such as tofu, mushrooms, and seaweed in the cuisine that will awake your taste buds. The food is so flavorful and easily adaptable without sacrificing great taste. Crispy on all edges yet tender on the inside, this pan-fried Teriyaki Tofu is the bomb.
