Instructions

1

Start jasmine rice: In a small saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

While rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.

⏱️ 6 minutes
3

Push tofu to the side of the skillet. Add remaining olive oil and broccoli florets. Sauté until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Whisk together miso paste, lemon juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, cornstarch, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour over tofu and broccoli, stirring to coat. Cook until sauce thickens and everything is well-glazed, about 2 minutes.

Fluff rice with a fork. Serve tofu and broccoli over jasmine rice, spooning extra glaze on top.
