Ingredients
Method
- Cook rice in a pot with 2 cups water and salt—bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
- Cube tofu and pat dry like it just confessed its feelings—no moisture allowed.
- Toss tofu cubes in cornstarch for that golden, crispy edge your soul craves.
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high, add tofu, and cook until browned on all sides (7–8 minutes).
- Remove tofu and set aside like it’s your prize.
- In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and onion—sauté until fragrant and gossip-worthy.
- Toss in broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots—sauté until just tender but still sassy (about 5–6 minutes).
- In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, and chili flakes.
- Return tofu to skillet, pour sauce over everything, toss until everything’s well-coated and drama-free.
- Serve stir-fry hot over rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and accept applause.
