]]> Do you prefer eating more nutritional meals or perhaps looking to provide your family with healthier lifestyles? Then this Chinese-American recipe is sure to bring a smile to the face of even the most reluctant eaters when it comes to vegetarian and tofu-based dishes. Here is your guide to whipping up a scrumptious sesame tofu and broccoli dish.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz. extra-firm tofu
  • 2 scallions
  • 2 small heads of broccoli
  • 1 piece of peeled ginger
  • salt
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • toasted sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons neutral oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Thinly slice scallions and separate green and white parts while also chopping up broccoli heads into smaller chunks. Place white scallion parts in a large bowl along with grated ginger and garlic. Add broth, soy sauce, chilli crisp, vinegar, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the mix and whisk until combined.
  2. Break the tofu into 1-inch pieces if not already broken up. Toss the tofu pieces into a separate large bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle tofu with 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and toss the tofu in order to ensure that all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Spread 2 teaspoons of neutral oil on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place tofu on the sheet and insert into the oven, baking for about 25 minutes, until light brown and crisp in appearance.
  4. About halfway through cooking the tofu, heat the remaining neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Throw in the broccoli and season with salt. Toss the broccoli to coat it thoroughly in oil. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until broccoli starts to char.
  5. Keep the sauce cooking, whisking it to reincorporate the cornstarch.
  6. Finally, toss the tofu and broccoli into the skillet and coat with sauce.
  7. Top with green scallion parts and sesame seeds and serve with rice.

]]> Eating vegetables is crucial for maintaining a healthy diet. Not only are they packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that our bodies need to function correctly, but they can also help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Finally, they can improve digestion, boost immunity, and promote healthy skin. These are three of the healthiest vegetables you can eat.

Broccoli

We know broccoli as the “tree-looking veggie”, but there’s so much more to it. A cruciferous vegetable that is rich in vitamins C, K, and A, it’s also high in fiber and contains a compound called sulforaphane, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

Spinach

In addition to being the primary food of the beloved cartoon Popeye the Sailorman, spinach is a leafy green vegetable that is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K. It is also rich in iron, calcium, and magnesium, making it a great food for bone health.

Bell Peppers

Bell peppers come in a variety of colors, including green, red, and yellow. But beyond the visual aspect of them, they’re an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help protect the body against free radicals and inflammation.
