Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 14 ounces extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into ½" cubes
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 heaping cup broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
  • ½ red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice
  • 1-2 tsp. Sriracha or similarly spiced chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch

Instructions

  • In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat up olive oil over medium heat. Add cubed tofu and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is lightly brown on all sides. Stir in the garlic and ginger and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add the rice along with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked all the way through.
  • While the rice cooks, chop your vegetables. Combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, pineapple juice, and chili sauce in a liquid measuring cup. In a small bowl make a slurry with the tablespoon of cornstarch and ¼ cup of water. Set aside.
  • Once the rice is done, stir in the vegetables. Pour in the sauce over the rice mixture, stirring so that the rice/vegetable mixture is evenly hydrated. Add the cornstarch slurry and increase the heat to medium-high, bringing the sauce to a light boil. Boil, while stirring, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  • Serve with extra hot sauce and chopped green onions.

Notes

Serving and Storing - Serve it with hot sauce and fresh green onions. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To eat leftovers, gently reheat the stir fry over the stove or in the microwave.
Variations
