Ingredients

• 1 block (14 oz / 400 g), pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes silken tofu
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) sesame oil
• 1, julienned carrot
• 1 cup (150 g) broccoli florets
• 1, thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tbsp (15 ml), minced fresh ginger
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) white miso paste
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) cooked brown rice
• 2, sliced green onions

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed silken tofu and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
2. Step 2: Add the julienned carrots, broccoli florets, and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and bright in color.
3. Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic and minced ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Mix in 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/4 cup water, stirring until miso dissolves and sauce thickens slightly.
4. Step 4: Add 1/4 cup cooked brown rice to the skillet and toss until coated in sauce and tofu is fully infused. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions.
