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.

Tofu is one of the staples of the vegan diet, but it takes time to learn how to implement it in your diet when you’re still new to it. Luckily, we can rely on our favorite food bloggers to give us some useful pointers, and Hannah Sunderani’s blog Two Spoons is a great source of inspiration.

Crispy Baked Tofu

If you’re still new to preparing tofu, you should start your journey with this beginner-friendly recipe. Made with just six ingredients, including extra-firm tofu, oil, corn starch, and garlic powder, this tofu is as delicious and crispy as it gets.

Pan-Fried Tofu

This is another basic recipe perfect for beginners, especially the ones who like foods with a bit of spice. This tofu owes its tangy flavor to the homemade miso tamari glaze that you can use to drizzle it.

Tofu Nuggets

Plant-based versions of chicken nuggets are all the rage with vegan bloggers. Sunderani gave us her own take on this trend with her tofu nuggets with a crispy exterior and soft texture.

Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Tofu

After mastering the basic tofu recipes, it’s time to level up by combining them with other foods. Stuffed sweet potatoes are a great option, and you can fill them with all sorts of healthy ingredients, including tofu.

Set Aside 2⃣In a bowl mix mustard, agave, mayo, & salt/pepper 3⃣Use 1/2 of mustard sauce to marinate tofu slices. I used a brush to make sure all edges and sides were covered. Marinate for at least 30 min.Place in fridge 4⃣ In saute pan, over medium heat, heat oil till warmed ( toss panko crumb in to see if it sizzles) add panko. Stir continuously for 5 min till panko changes to a golden brown color.

Repeat 7⃣ Bake 400 F for 30-35 min flipping half way through cook time. Enjoy!!

Poke bowls are one of the most popular food trends that have taken over the world in recent years. Poke, a Hawaiian dish that traditionally combines a marinated diced raw fish base with other ingredients such as seaweed, vegetables, and rice, is filling, delicious, and healthy.

Here are three proteins that you absolutely have to try in your next poke bowl.

Ahi Tuna

Ahi tuna is probably the most traditional and classic protein for a poke bowl. This special, especially flavorful variety of the fish is fantastic as a base for the poke bowl due to how it interacts with the rest of the flavors present. Be sure to try it with sesame seeds and seaweed!

Salmon

Salmon is another great fish option for poke. Although ahi tuna is the most popular type of fish used in poke, salmon has grown in popularity in recent years as a fish with a similar profile. We love topping our salmon poke bowls with soy-based sauces.

Tofu

Are you vegetarian or vegan and looking to try a poke bowl? Try marinated tofu as the base for your poke bowl! It might not be the traditional fish base that the dish normally has, but it’s a darn good substitute that is similar in both flavor and texture.

  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.

Tofu is one of the staples of the vegan diet, but it takes time to learn how to implement it in your diet when you’re still new to it. Luckily, we can rely on our favorite food bloggers to give us some useful pointers, and Hannah Sunderani’s blog Two Spoons is a great source of inspiration.

Crispy Baked Tofu

If you’re still new to preparing tofu, you should start your journey with this beginner-friendly recipe. Made with just six ingredients, including extra-firm tofu, oil, corn starch, and garlic powder, this tofu is as delicious and crispy as it gets.

Pan-Fried Tofu

This is another basic recipe perfect for beginners, especially the ones who like foods with a bit of spice. This tofu owes its tangy flavor to the homemade miso tamari glaze that you can use to drizzle it.

Tofu Nuggets

Plant-based versions of chicken nuggets are all the rage with vegan bloggers. Sunderani gave us her own take on this trend with her tofu nuggets with a crispy exterior and soft texture.

Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Tofu

After mastering the basic tofu recipes, it’s time to level up by combining them with other foods. Stuffed sweet potatoes are a great option, and you can fill them with all sorts of healthy ingredients, including tofu.

Set Aside 2⃣In a bowl mix mustard, agave, mayo, & salt/pepper 3⃣Use 1/2 of mustard sauce to marinate tofu slices. I used a brush to make sure all edges and sides were covered. Marinate for at least 30 min.Place in fridge 4⃣ In saute pan, over medium heat, heat oil till warmed ( toss panko crumb in to see if it sizzles) add panko. Stir continuously for 5 min till panko changes to a golden brown color.

Repeat 7⃣ Bake 400 F for 30-35 min flipping half way through cook time. Enjoy!!

Poke bowls are one of the most popular food trends that have taken over the world in recent years. Poke, a Hawaiian dish that traditionally combines a marinated diced raw fish base with other ingredients such as seaweed, vegetables, and rice, is filling, delicious, and healthy.

Here are three proteins that you absolutely have to try in your next poke bowl.

Ahi Tuna

Ahi tuna is probably the most traditional and classic protein for a poke bowl. This special, especially flavorful variety of the fish is fantastic as a base for the poke bowl due to how it interacts with the rest of the flavors present. Be sure to try it with sesame seeds and seaweed!

Salmon

Salmon is another great fish option for poke. Although ahi tuna is the most popular type of fish used in poke, salmon has grown in popularity in recent years as a fish with a similar profile. We love topping our salmon poke bowls with soy-based sauces.

Tofu

Are you vegetarian or vegan and looking to try a poke bowl? Try marinated tofu as the base for your poke bowl! It might not be the traditional fish base that the dish normally has, but it’s a darn good substitute that is similar in both flavor and texture.

For the sauce you should get:
1 inch minced ginger
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 cloves minced garlic
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

To start making the Szechuan tofu, you need to cut the tofu into small cubes. Make the sauce by mixing the honey, soy sauce, ginger, rice vinegar, and garlic.

Pour 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on a skillet and wait until it’s hot. Add the five spice powder and mix it for 2 minutes. Include the salt and tofu, then leave it on the stove for 3 to 4 minutes. Place it on a plate.

With the 2 remaining spoons of olive oil, cook the vegetables. Stir-fry them for 4 to 5 minutes. When they are done, add them to the tofu. You can also serve this meal with rice or quinoa.
