Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon tamari, or soy sauce
- 2 (14 oz) packages extra firm tofu, OR 1 pckg tofu and 1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans
- 4 Servings of your favorite grain (white rice, brown rice, quinoa, etc…)
Chili Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons tamari, or soy sauce
- 1 large clove garlic, grated or minced
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoon spicy chili paste, I love to use Sambal Oelek
- 4 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
- 8 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil, broccoli and a pinch of salt. Mix well and then add the 1/4 cup water and cover to let the vegetables steam and become tender, 3-5 minutes. Once the water has cooked out, add 1 tablespoon tamari and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove veggies from pan.
- Pat your tofu dry and press for at least 15 minutes. Dice the tofu into bite size chunks or use your hands to tear it into chunks. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to a large pan and place over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until browned, stirring occasionally, 5-7 minutes.
- Mix together your sauce while the tofu is browning. Add all sauce ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined. Once tofu has browned, pour sauce over tofu and cook until sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes. If you’re using a mixture of tofu and chickpeas, add in the chickpeas at the same time you add in the sauce.
- Assemble your meal prep bowls: Lay out four similar sized meal prep bowls. To each bowl add an equal amount of vegetables, tofu and rice (or grain of choice). I like to add a little soy sauce to the rice.
- Store meal prep containers in the refrigerator until ready to eat. You can heat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or dump the contents into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until hot.
