Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear. 
  • To a medium pot, add rice, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, peel, then halve carrot lengthwise. Cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Thinly slice green onion. 
  • Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch pieces.

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • While the pan heats, to a medium bowl, add tofu, half the cornstarch, 2 tsp (4 tsp) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) soy sauce.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu.
  • Cook for 6-7 min, turning occasionally, until crispy and browned all over.
  • Transfer to a plate.
Cook veggies and make sauce
4
  • To the same pan, add carrots and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates.
  • Add zucchini. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, to a small bowl, stir together honey-garlic sauce, garlic puree, remaining cornstarch, remaining soy sauce and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water.
Finish tofu
5
  • To the pan with veggies, add tofu and sauce. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
6
  • To the rice, add half the green onions, then fluff rice with a fork.
  • Divide rice between bowls. Top with tofu and veggies, along with any remaining sauce from the pan.
  • Sprinkle remaining green onions over top.

Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season chicken. Cook for 6-7 min, turning occasionally, until crispy and browned all over. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
