Equipment
Ingredients
Tofu
- 1 block Extra Firm Tofu
- 1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce low sodium
- 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup can also use honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Ginger Powder
- 1 teaspoon Sambal Oelek
- 1 tablespoon Corn Starch
Broccoli
- 12 oz Broccoli cut into florets
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 teaspoon Light Soy Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon White Pepper
Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup can use honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Ginger Powder
- 1 Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Sambal Oelek
- 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 F. 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.
