Ingredients
Crispy Tofu & Broccoli
- 1½ cup cooked rice
- 1 package of firm tofu (about 1 lb) *pressed & cubed
- 1½ tsp arrowroot
- 1½ tbsp amino acids or soy sauce
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- 2 cup chopped broccoli
- 4 tbsp chopped green onion for garnish
Peanut Sauce
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp honey
- ½ cup warm water
Instructions
For the crispy tofu and broccoli
- In a small dish whisk together amino acid/soy sauce with the arrowroot and 1 tbs olive oil. Try to whisk out all clumps. *Press tofu with a tofu press or with a clean dish towel, try not to break the tofu but use patience to move towel and use up all the dry spots on the cloth or towel to soak up moisture. Cut tofu into small even cubes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut broccoli into even size pieces to match the size of the tofu.
- In a medium bowl place cubed tofu in and pour the arrowroot mixture over it and lightly mix. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and lay tofu flat and slightly spaced out on one half side of the baking sheet. The broccoli will then be tossed in the same bowl with the remainder of oil. Place on the other half of the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, be sure to flip atleast once throughout the baking process. Keep an eye on it as oven temps/times may vary. Cook rice while tofu & broccoli are baking.
Peanut sauce
- In a medium sized bowl add peanut butter and garlic, salt and honey. Slowly add the warm water. Whisk well and keep adding water a little at a time and whisking until the oils in the peanut butter release and it becomes thinner sauce constancy. This will take a little patience but it will get there.
- Place rice in bowls. Once tofu & broccoli are finsihed roasting place them back in the bowl and pour some peanut dressing on top and toss it together. Serve over rice with some green onions. Drizzle more sauce over the bowl if you'd like.
