Soy-Mirin Tofu Over Rice with Broccoli and Peanut Sauce

I stumbled across this recipe at VeganYumYum and just had to make it. I love tofu and am up for making just about anything that involves it! An added plus - this meal was insanely easy to prepare! I've copied the recipe below.

Soy-Mirin Tofu Over Rice with Broccoli and Peanut Sauce (serves 2)

Ingredients

• 1 Block Extra Firm Tofu, pressed, cut into small squares
• 1 tbs Canola or Peanut Oil
• 2 tsp Soy Sauce
• 2 tsp Mirin
• Broccoli, steamed
• 1 Carrot, peeled and shredded
• Peanuts, crushed (optional)
• 1 Cup Dry Brown Rice

Peanut Dressing

• 1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
• 1/4 Cup Water (or coconut milk if you have it!)
• 1 Tbs Sugar
• 1 Tbs Soy Sauce
• 1 Tbs Seasoned Rice Vinegar
• 1 tsp Hot Chili Oil
• 1 Pinch Salt

Start cooking your rice. Mix sauce ingredients until smooth (be patient, it’ll look like hell at first) and set aside.

Pan fry tofu in the oil over high heat in a non-stick skillet until browned on both sides. Drain and return to hot pan (turn off the heat). Mix soy sauce and mirin together and pour over tofu, mixing well. It will bubble up and form a light glaze.

Plate rice, add broccoli, tofu, carrot, and crushed peanuts. Drizzle with sauce and serve.

Note: if you don't have mirin, use a combination of cooking wine and sugar.
