Instructions

1. Step 1: Press the tofu block for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the tofu, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Tip: Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the tofu from sticking.
2. Step 2: While the tofu cooks, prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and slice the shiitake mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Add the broccoli and mushrooms to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the mushrooms are softened but still slightly chewy.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp miso paste, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp water to create a smooth glaze. Pour the glaze into the skillet, stir well to coat the tofu and vegetables, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Tip: If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water to adjust consistency.
4. Step 4: Serve the stir-fry immediately over 1 cup of steamed rice, ensuring each serving is evenly topped with the miso-glazed mixture. Tip: For extra flavor, add 1 tsp mirin (sweet rice wine) to the glaze if available.
