Step 1
Press tofu between paper towels for 2 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
Step 2
Whisk soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and ginger in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add tofu cubes without stirring for 3 minutes until the bottom edges are golden brown.
Step 5
Stir gently and cook 2 more minutes until all sides have color, then pour in the teriyaki sauce.
Step 6
Toss until coated and glossy, about 1 minute, then add bell peppers and cook 90 seconds until just tender.
Step 7
Divide rice between bowls, top with tofu and peppers, drizzle with sauce, and scatter cilantro over top.
