Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Cut tofu into slices and then 1-inch cubes, and then place in an even layer on a clean towel. Place another towel on the top and put something heavy on top, pressing for about 10 minutes.

Toss tofu in a bowl with the tamari and a bit of olive oil, if desired, and then sprinkle in the starch until evenly coated. Arrange the tofu on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.

For teriyaki sauce, add all ingredients to a small pot and whisk together until smooth. Bring to a boil and continue whisking until sauce thickens to desired consistency. Taste and adjust. If sauce is too thick, thin with additional water.
