  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for cooking
For Bowl
  • 2 c jasmine rice uncooked
  • 1 tbsp olive oil divided
  • broccoli florets
  • white cabbage shredded
  • 8 oz beech mushrooms
  • 1 bunch radishes sliced
  • 1 c carrots shredded
  • 2 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • green onions for garnish
  • salt and pepper to taste
Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup grade A
  • 1 tbsp sambal oelek
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • remaining tofu marinade

Instructions

  • Prepare rice following package directions. Set aside.
  • Blanch Broccoli. Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Add a heaping tablespoon of salt. Add the broccoli florets and cook until crisp-tender, 1 – 1 1/2 minutes. Plunge broccoli into an ice water bath to stop cooking.
  • Make Tofu Marinade. Add tofu marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk together to combine. Add tofu to the bowl and let marinate for one hour.
  • Cook Tofu. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu to the pan and reserve leftover marinade for chili sauce. Cook, occasionally turning, until golden brown all over, about 10 minutes. Remove tofu from the pan; set aside.
  • Sauté Cabbage. Wipe out the pan, and add an additional ½ tbsp of olive oil, place back over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until softened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside
  • Sauté Mushrooms. Place skillet back on the stove and add one last ½ tbsp of olive oil. Once hot, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until softened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • Prepare Sauce. Add chili glaze ingredients to a small bowl; whisk to combine. In a large saucepan, heat sweet chili sauce and leftover marinade over medium heat. Add tofu and stir to coat.
  • To Serve. Assemble tofu, broccoli, mushrooms, shredded carrots, sliced radishes over rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds. Drizzle leftover sweet chili sauce over top. Enjoy!
