    4. Toss in a generous handful of Thai basil leaves, stir until wilted.
    5. Serve over steamed jasmine rice.
  • Honey Garlic Glazed Tofu with Broccoli

    Crispy baked tofu tossed in a sticky honey-garlic glaze (or maple for vegan) with steamed broccoli over brown rice. High protein, satisfying crunch, and that irresistible sweet-savory balance.

    Instructions

    1. Press and cube extra-firm tofu. Toss with cornstarch and a pinch of salt.
    2. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
    3. Whisk soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Simmer in a small pan until thickened.
    4. Steam broccoli until bright green and tender-crisp.
    5. Toss crispy tofu in the glaze. Serve over brown rice with broccoli, topped with sesame seeds and sliced green onion.
