Marinated Tofu with Roasted Broccoli and a Creamy Sesame Sauce

When tofu is marinated and baked in a miso-sweet chilli sauce, it creates a deliciously sticky, sweet and savoury protein source - served with roasted broccoli, rice and a creamy sesame sauce that we can’t get enough of!

Breakdown

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees fan bake.
Marinate the tofu.
Roast the tofu and broccoli
Cook the rice.
Prepare the creamy sesame sauce.
Serve up and enjoy!

Tips

Be sure to use firm tofu, as it will hold up better than other types of tofu when fried or baked.
Gently press tofu with a clean tea towel or paper towel to help remove excess liquid. Once the liquid has been pressed out, it has the ability to absorb all the flavours it is marinated or cooked in.

This recipe serves four if you are cooking for two simply halve the recipe.

INGREDIENTS Ingredients

Marinated tofu

2 tsp miso paste
1 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 Tbsp tamari
1 Tbsp ginger (grated)
1 garlic clove (crushed)
2 Tbsp olive oil
300g firm tofu
2 heads of broccoli (cut into bite-size pieces)
1 ½ cups jasmine rice
5g nori sheets (finely sliced)
2 tsp sesame seeds (toasted)

Creamy sesame sauce

4 Tbsp tahini
3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp water
1 - 2 Tbsp mayonnaise (or cashew cream for a vegan option)
1 Tbsp tamari
1-2 tsp maple syrup
2 tsp sesame oil

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees fan bake.
Gently press the block of tofu with a paper towel or clean tea towel to remove excess moisture, then cut into bite-size cubes.

In a small bowl, add all the ingredients for the marinated tofu (excluding the tofu) and mix until well combined. Add the tofu and toss to coat in the marinade, allow to marinate for 30 minutes.

Place tofu onto a lined baking tray and pour over the excess marinade. On a separate baking tray, add the broccoli florets, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pop both trays into the oven and cook for 25 minutes or until slightly charred.

Cook rice as per packet instructions.

Prepare the creamy sesame sauce, add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mix until smooth and creamy.

In each bowl, serve a portion of rice, topped with crispy roasted broccoli and tofu. Drizzle over the sesame sauce and top with the nori and sesame seeds.
