Cook the Teriyaki Sauce
Pour the Teriyaki sauce mixture into a pot and bring to a boil. Once the Teriyaki sauce is boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the pot from the stove and let the Teriyaki sauce cool to complete the process.
Note: When the Teriyaki sauce has completely cooled, pour it into sealed jars and store it in the refrigerator for long-term use.

Final Product
With the sauce you just prepared, you can divide it to drizzle over the meat before grilling.
The sauce not only penetrates evenly to help the meat become tender, shiny, and flavorful, but also protects the piece of meat from harmful substances that could cause cancer during the grilling process.

Wash the tofu and cut it into bite-sized pieces of 1cm. Peel the garlic, crush it, and chop it finely. Cut the seaweed into strips with a width of 2 – 3cm.
