Crispy and fresh come together here for pure yumminess and delight. You'll crisp the tofu to "crunch on the outside, soft on the inside" perfection, and give them a twist of teriyaki. The fresh comes from pickled cucumber. "Those are pickles," you say. Au contraire! These are a crispy, plucky, additional delight.
