  • Broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces - 1 large head or 3 smaller crowns (P)
  • Super-firm, vacuum packed tofu, cubed - 1 lb. (P)
  • Jalapenos, sliced - 2 (P)
(P) - Can be prepped / made ahead of time
Make
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, crushed garlic, toasted sesame oil, and olive or canola oil.
  3. Toss sauce with broccoli and tofu on a baking sheet. Spread ingredients out in one even layer and season with salt and pepper. Top with slice jalapenos and roast for 15 to 20 minutes
Serve with
  1. Traditionalist: A bowl of brown rice. I am loving the packets of microwaveable brown rice sold in your grocery store's freezer aisles these days
  2. Asian burrito-fy: Combine with brown rice and your favorite salsa, and roll it all into a flour burrito
  3. Baked fish: Double the marinade and drizzle over fish, like tilapia. Bake with the vegetables or on a separate baking sheet. Same temperature but the fish will only need about 10 minutes
Substitutes and Supplements
  1. Scared to take the tofu plunge? Substitute another vegetarian protein like garbanzo beans
  2. Can't handle the heat? Skip the jalapenos and toss in some garlic instead
  3. Not ready to build out your Asian pantry: Roast with just olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss with a simple vinaigrette or a salsa verde for extra flavor after roasting
