Before You Start

Press and cube the tofu, cut the broccoli into florets, dice the bell pepper, rinse the spinach, mince the garlic and slice the scallions.

How To Make It
  1. Season the tofu, warm a pan over medium high, and sear 5 to 6 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp on the edges, then set it aside.
  2. Cook the broccoli in the same pan with a splash of water 4 to 5 minutes, until bright green and just tender.
  3. Add the bell pepper and cook, 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender but still bright.
  4. Add the spinach and cook, 1 to 2 minutes, until it wilts down.
  5. Return the tofu and finish with the coconut aminos, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and scallions, tossing 1 minute off the heat until everything is glossy and coated.
  6. Serve over the cooked rice.
Fix It: If the tofu turns soggy, sear it hotter and longer before saucing so it keeps a crisp edge under the glaze.
Air Fryer
  1. Heat the air fryer to 380F.
  2. Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
  3. Cook for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
  4. Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
