Sheet Pan Chinese Cashew Tofu
Ingredients:
¼ c. soy sauce
¼ c. maple syrup
¼ c. water
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch ginger root, peeled and grated
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sriracha
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
2 blocks extra firm tofu, pressed, & cut into cubes
2 heads broccoli, cut into florets
2 bell peppers
½ c. roasted cashews
Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, water, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, lime juice, & sriracha. Bring mixture to a boil, & remove from heat, whisk in the cornstarch & water. Bring it back to a boil, stirring constantly until it thickens (2-3 minutes).
Arrange the tofu (I used 2 blocks, the recipe called for one), & veggies on a sheet pan lined with non stick foil. Pour the sauce over the tofu & veggies. Sprinkle the cashews on top. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from the oven, & flip veggies/tofu. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until the veggies are tender.
You can serve with rice if you need more carbs!
