Ingredients

  • Super-firm tofu, drained20 oz
  • Broccoli florets1 1/4 lb
  • Cooked brown rice4 cups
  • Gluten-free low-sodium tamari1/4 cup

How dinner comes together

  1. Pat the tofu dry, cut it into 3/4-inch cubes and toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch. Grate the garlic and ginger.

  2. Whisk the tamari, maple syrup, vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 cup water until no lumps remain.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-high. Cook the tofu in one layer, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden on several sides, 6–7 minutes; transfer to a plate.

  4. Add the remaining oil and broccoli. Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then add 1/4 cup water, cover and steam until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 minutes.

  5. Uncover, add the garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce and cook until glossy and thick enough to coat a spoon, 1–2 minutes.

  6. Return the tofu to the skillet and toss gently. Heat the rice according to its package and divide it among serving bowls with the stir-fry.
