Stir-fry vegetables and tofu

So I JUST made this and it came out all right, but since I'm an eyeball cook when I'm just experimenting, there're very few precise measurements to this.

Ingredients:
Your favorite teriyaki sauce
1 container of extra-firm tofu
2 teaspoons sesame oil + some extra
1/2 head of cauliflower
2 pinches of salt
1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds (black or regular, it doesn't matter)
1 bag of fresh/frozen stir-fry vegetable mix

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 475. Place a shallow baking pan covered with aluminum foil in the oven too. (Because we're going to roast the cauliflower, the aluminum foil will keep it from sticking to your pan and also make clean up easier.)

2. So, drain and pat dry your tofu. Then cut it into cubes of whatever size. I prefer larger chunks, so I made mine about 1-1/2 inch.

3. Put your tofu in a tupperware container and then cover it with some of your teriyaki sauce. Place a lid on it, shake it around, and then let it sit.

4. Separate your 1/2 head of cauliflower in to managable florets. Place them in a bowl and toss them with your 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, sesame seeds, and salt. Once your oven has gotten up to 475, dump the cauliflower onto the baking sheet. Let them roast for 20 minutes.

5. Heat the rest of your sesame oil in a wok on medium heat. With about 10 minutes left, place 2 cups of your fresh or frozen stirfry mix in the wok. After about 5 minutes put some soy sauce in there and let your vegetables cook some more.

6. Take the cauliflower out of the oven and stir them into the vegetables in your wok. After they simmer a bit, place your marinating tofu in the wok along with that teriyaki sauce it's been marinating in. Stir it all up, and let it simmer, covered, for a few more minutes.

7. Serve hot and enjoy!
