Ingredients

Scale

  • 14 oz package extra firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch or flour (can also use cornstarch)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 head of broccoli, chopped into florets

For the honey garlic sauce:

  • 1/4 cup regular soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch (or cornstarch)
  • 2 tbsp warm water
  • pinch of salt + pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
  3. Press tofu in a dishtowel or paper towel to remove extra water and then chop into 1 inch cubes.
  4. Place tofu in a bowl and toss with tapioca starch (or cornstarch or flour) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Ensure that tofu is well coated.
  5. Place coated tofu on a parchment lined baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove tofu from oven and flip while also pushing it all to one side of the sheet (it will be crowded, this is fine!).
  7. Add your broccoli florets and drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  8. Bake tofu and broccoli for 15 minutes.
  9. Meanwhile make the sauce by combining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  10. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low.
  11. In a small bowl whisk together tapioca starch and warm water to form a slurry.
  12. Pour the slurry into the saucepan and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  13. Remove the honey garlic sauce from the heat and pour over tofu.
  14. Serve coated tofu over rice and with broccoli.
  15. Will keep in fridge for up to 5 days.
