]]> 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.

]]> Black sesame seeds are a staple in Asian cuisine. While they’re commonly used as a topping for salads and noodle dishes, their rich, nutty flavor also works perfectly when incorporated into desserts and sweet treats. For those who like to bake with food coloring, black sesame can also replace artificial dye to create a unique pop of color in cakes and cookies. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just looking to try something new, read on for a few of our favorite black sesame recipes from popular food bloggers.

Vegan Black Sesame Ice Cream

For an unusual, yet undeniably delicious treat, this ice cream by Chez Jorge does not disappoint. As if black sesame-flavored ice cream weren’t unorthodox enough, it also includes an optional recipe for a soy sauce caramel topping. Both components are 100% vegan and come together easily without an ice cream machine.

Black Sesame Banana Bread

The Great Banana Bread Trend of 2020 may be behind us, but this recipe is one that we’ll continue to turn to for years to come. Cassava flour makes it naturally gluten-free, while coconut sugar and ripe bananas provide a touch of sweetness without being overbearing.

Black Sesame Macarons With Apricot Buttercream

This recipe by Emily Laurae swaps the more obvious choice of black sesame filling with a fresh and floral apricot buttercream. The result is a light, flavorful macaron that perfectly strikes the balance between nutty and fruity.
