Hoisin Tofu, Broccoli, Rice

Ingredients

• tofu (2 packs)
• broccoli (2 heads)
• garlic (3-4 cloves)
• hoisin sauce
• rice
• cornflour (3-4 tbsp)
• soy sauce (2 tbsp)
• maple syrup
• spring onions

Method

1. Chop the tofu into 1x1 cm cubes.
2. Coat the tofu in the soy sauce and cornflour in a bowl.
3. Transfer tofu to a tray and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil.
4. Cook until golden, coated, and crispy in the oven, about 20 minutes.
5. Once tofu is in the oven, rinse and chop the broccoli.
6. Rinse the rice. Cook rice in the bottom of a steamer for 5 minutes, then add broccoli into the top portion of the steamer with the lid on.
7. While the rice and broccoli are cooking and the tofu is in the oven, finely chop the garlic and lightly fry in sesame oil for 1 minute. Do not allow it to brown.
8. Add in hoisin sauce, about 200 ml, plus a bit of water and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then turn the heat down low and keep warm.
9. Once the tofu is cooked, add it to the sauce in the pan. Add more hoisin if it looks too dry.
10. Serve once the rice and broccoli are cooked.
