Servings: 4 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 block of Extra-firm tofu
  • 4 cups of Broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup of Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of Honey
  • 2 teaspoons of Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons of Sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon of Grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon of Minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean dish towel. Place it on a plate and top it with another plate. Add something heavy like a can or a book on top and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to press the excess water out of the tofu.
  3. Cut the tofu into small cubes.
  4. Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, add the cubed tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring until it’s golden brown on all sides.
  6. Add the broccoli to the skillet with the tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
  7. Add the ginger and garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  8. Pour the sauce over the tofu and broccoli and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  9. Serve the tofu and broccoli over cauliflower rice, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

How to Store the Low-Carb Tofu Broccoli Bowl

If you have leftovers from a low-carb tofu broccoli bowl that you’d like to store for later, there are a few steps you can take to ensure that it stays fresh and tasty.

  1. Let it cool. Before you store your tofu broccoli bowl, please allow it to cool down to room temperature. This will prevent condensation from forming inside the container, which can lead to sogginess or spoilage.
  2. Select an airtight container that is the right size for your meal. This will help keep the food fresh and prevent it from drying out or becoming contaminated. Glass or BPA-free plastic containers are good options.
  3. Place your tofu broccoli bowl in the fridge after it has cooled down as soon as possible. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Reheat before serving: When ready to eat your leftovers, reheat them in a microwave or stove. This will help to restore the flavors and textures of the tofu broccoli bowl. If the tofu has become too dry, add a little bit of water or broth to the container before reheating it.

Always check for signs of spoilage, such as an off smell or mold, before consuming any leftovers. If in doubt, it’s better to discard the food rather than risk getting sick.
