Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rice (sushi, short-grained or brown)
- 1 package of extra-firm tofu (I use Sunrise brand because it’s GMO-free)
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce (I use San J brand because it’s gluten free, vegan and GMO free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
- 1/2 white or yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup of diced carrots
- 3 cups of broccoli, diced
- 2 handfuls of spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional
- 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (use any gluten-free brand without fish or seafood sauce)
Directions
- Cook the rice according to package instructions.
- For the tofu: Cut the tofu into small cubes.
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and brown sugar. Add the tofu and toss to coat. Let marinate for a minimum of 5 minutes while you prep the vegetables. Steps 1 and 2 can be done ahead of time.
- Heat a large sauté pan or wok on medium heat. When hot, swirl in the oil. Add the onions and sauté for 1 minute. Add the tofu, tossing with the onions for about 3 minutes.
- Add in the carrots and broccoli and toss. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Toss in the spinach and cook for an additional minute. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with rice.
