Deliciously sticky tofu bowls packed with crispy tofu and a flavorful sauce, served over rice and fresh veggies for a satisfying plant-based meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes.
  2. In a bowl, toss tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry tofu until golden and crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
  5. Pour the sauce over the tofu in the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Divide cooked jasmine rice between bowls, top with steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and sticky tofu.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, add toasted cashews or swap rice for quinoa for a protein boost.
