Ingredients

Servings

For the baked tofu:

  • 14 oz. extra-firm tofu pressed, block
  • 1/4 cup tamari
  • 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder

For the roasted veggies:

  • 5 cups broccoli about 1 large or 2 medium heads, fresh florets
  • 2 carrot medium
  • 1 red bell pepper

The rest:

  • 1 cup brown basmati rice (or white)
  • 1 batch peanut sauce
  • sesame seeds for serving
  • cilantro
  • peanuts
  • cashews
  • green onions
  • sriracha
  • mung bean sprouts

Instructions

  1. Begin: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Cook rice: Rinse and cook rice according to package instructions.
  3. Prepare the tofu: Cut tofu into small cubes, about 2/3-inch. In a medium bowl, add tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir the marinade, then add tofu cubes. Gently toss with a spatula to evenly coat, then set bowl aside to marinate for a few minutes.
  4. Prepare veggies: Chop broccoli into small florets. Slice carrots. Dice bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Bake tofu & veggies: Spread out tofu on a lined pan in a single layer. (Spoon any remaining sauce over the top for maximum flavor if desired.) On the other pan, spread out veggies. Add salt & pepper if desired. Then place both trays in oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring each halfway through.
  6. Make peanut sauce: While everything is cooking, make the peanut sauce.
  7. Assemble bowls: To a serving bowl, add cooked rice, veggies, and tofu. Then drizzle peanut sauce and any desired toppings. (I like sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, and peanuts for crunch.)

Notes

  • *Pressing tofu: Use a tofu press for about 15-20 minutes (or longer) or simply press between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • **Peanut sauce: I find one batch of peanut sauce is a pretty great match for this recipe. (Each serving gets 1/3 cup sauce.) But if you like extra sauce, feel free to make a larger (or even double) batch.
