+***Work in Progress: this recipe isn't particularly great in its
+current form.***
+
+A very basic quick teriyaki tofu with steamed vegetables, rice, and
+mass manufactured teriyaki sauce in a bottle. I like to add some snow
+peas and baby corn when available.

+ - 1 tbsp corn starch
+ - ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
+ - ⅓ cup low sodium teriyaki sauce
+
+* Directions
+
+While oven is preheating for the tofu, prepare the tofu and

+after the tofu goes into the oven.
