Report
This one-bowl wonder is healthy, filling, and protein-rich! Made with baked tofu, roasted veggies, warm rice, and a garlic-ginger peanut sauce.

Ingredients
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
- Begin: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Cook rice: Rinse and cook rice according to package instructions.
- 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.
- Prepare veggies: Chop broccoli into small florets. Slice carrots. Dice bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
- 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.
- Make peanut sauce: While everything is cooking, make the peanut sauce.
- 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.
