Equipment

Ingredients
Tofu
- 1 block Extra Firm Tofu
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce low sodium
- 1 tsp Maple Syrup can also use honey
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1 tsp Chili Garlic Sauce
- 1 tbsp Corn Starch
Broccoli
- 12 oz Broccoli cut into florets
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tsp White Pepper
Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup can use honey
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1 Lime juice
- 1 tsp Chili Garlic Sauce
- 1/4 cup Water use more or less as needed to thin sauce
- Sesame Seeds optional; to serve
Instructions
- Squeeze excess water from tofu. Slice block in half length wise, then slice 3 rows length wise, then slice into 4 columns to create squares of tofu. Next, press the tofu by placing tofu pieces onto a couple layer of paper towels, place another couple paper towels on top, then place a baking sheet and something heavy like a Dutch Oven on top of the baking sheet for 30 minutes. This will squeeze out more water.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, stir together the soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, ginger powder, and chili garlic sauce. Add the tofu pieces and toss to coat well. Marinade for 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and toss well so each piece gets coated. Place the pieces on a large baking sheet.
- Next, add the broccoli to the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with sesame oil, soy sauce, and white pepper. Toss together well. Bake the tofu and broccoli for 25-30 minutes or until the broccoli is roasted and the tofu is brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce. Whisk together all the peanut sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add water as needed to thin out sauce to desired consistency.
- Dip the broccoli and crispy tofu in peanut sauce to serve. Top with sesame seeds if desired.

Tried this recipe?Let me know how it was!
January 21, 2024 at 9:06 pmMarinade went great with the sauce! It could have been my oven, or something to do with how I pressed my tofu, but the tofu ended up a bit too burnt. That’s my only complaint! But again, while I did attempt to follow this recipe accurately, there could have been something off that caused this. Will definitely be making this again, perhaps with a more careful eye on my tofu. Thanks!
January 25, 2024 at 4:07 pmThanks for leaving this review! Sorry to hear your tofu was a little burnt. I have found that every oven is a little different unfortunately. I hope you try it again with slightly less cooking time on the tofu! Thanks again!
