Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 blocks of extra firm tofu
  • 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • olive oil and salt
  • 2 small (or 1 large) head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked rice
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (toasted or dark)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sambal oelek or chili paste (this is where the “spicy” comes in, so add to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar, honey, or agave
  • a small knob of fresh ginger, peeled
  • a clove of fresh garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 cup water

Instruction

  • Press liquid out of the tofu. Cube tofu and toss (gently) with the cornstarch until coated. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Arrange broccoli and peppers on another baking sheet. Drizzle all with olive oil and salt. Roast both pans at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes, until tofu is slightly crisped and broccoli is roasty and delicious.
  • While the tofu and broccoli are roasting, cook the rice.
  • Also, make the sauce by blending everything in a blender or food processor.
  • Serve tofu and broccoli with rice and a good drizzle of peanut sauce. YUM!
