Asian Cashew Tofu with Broccoli & Red Bell Pepper
Ingredients
For the tofu:
• 16 ounces tofu, extra firm
• 2 ¼ cups vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 cup medium grain Calrose rice
• 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into small size pieces
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into ¼ in strips

Steps
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Remove tofu from packaging. Drain liquid. Slice in half longways.
3. Line a small sheet tray with paper towel. Place tofu on paper towel. Top with something heavy or apply pressure. You want to release as much liquid as possible from tofu. Let sit for 30 minutes, or longer if desired. Remove to cutting board, cut into 1-inch cubes.
4. On a large rimmed sheet tray, pour vegetable stock and stir in rice. Add red bell pepper and broccoli followed by the tofu cubes. Cover with foil. When placing in the oven, keep tray leveled so not to spill the liquid. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes.

6. Remove tofu and vegetables from the oven. Pour the sauce over then garnish with scallions and cashews. Stir until combined.
7. Fluff with a fork and serve. Enjoy!
