What You'll Need

Rice vinegar or white wine vinegar

Sugar

Salt

Vegetable oil

Step 1

Cut half of the cucumber into rounds or half moons, reserving the rest for another use. In a bowl, toss the cucumber with 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, and a couple of pinches of salt. Let rest until softened.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into bite-size pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any woody stems from the mushrooms.

Step 3

In a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat, warm ¼ cup vegetable oil. When it shimmers, add the tofu and stir-fry until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Return the pan to the heat, and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry until golden and the moisture is released, 6 minutes. Return the tofu to the pan and add the teriyaki sauce. Stir to coat and cook until the teriyaki sauce thickens slightly, 3 minutes.

Step 4

Reheat the rice in the microwave until steamed through and warm, 1 to 2 minutes or according to package instructions. Peel, pit, and dice the avocado. Thinly slice a handful of the scallions.

Step 5

Heap the rice in bowls and top with the teriyaki tofu and mushrooms, marinated cucumber, and diced avocado. Sprinkle with the scallions and togarashi and serve warm.
