Instructions
- Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- While water comes to a boil, thinly slice green onions.
- Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Add tofu, half the cornstarch and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) soy sauce to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- When the pan is hot, add broccoli and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Season with a pinch of salt. Cover and steam until water evaporates, 1-2 min.
- Transfer broccoli to a plate.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Return the pan to medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Cook, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden-brown all over, 6-7 min.
- Meanwhile, combine plum sauce, remaining soy sauce, remaining cornstarch, half the ginger-garlic puree (use all for 4ppl) and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) water in the medium bowl used for the tofu (from step 2).
- Add broccoli and sauce mixture to the pan with tofu. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add half the green onions to the pot with rice. Fluff rice with a fork.
- Divide rice between plates. Top rice with tofu and broccoli.
- Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.
If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season the chicken.
Cook tofu, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
