Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 14 oz firm tofu
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Press tofu between paper towels for 2 minutes to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Whisk sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, ~1 minute.

  4. 4

    Add tofu cubes and cook without stirring for 3 minutes until the bottoms turn golden.

  5. 5

    Toss tofu gently and cook 2 minutes more until most edges are crispy and browned.

  6. 6

    Transfer tofu to a plate. Add broccoli to the same skillet with a pinch of salt.

  7. 7

    Cook broccoli over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes until tender-crisp.

  8. 8

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top with broccoli and crispy tofu.

  9. 9

    Drizzle sesame dressing over the bowl and serve immediately.
