Ingredients

  • 1 block extra-firm tofu (pressed and cubed)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup steamed bok choy
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced

Instructions

1
First, pat the pressed tofu completely dry and toss in a bowl with cornstarch and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
2
Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry the tofu cubes until every side is golden brown and crispy.
3
In a small whisking bowl, combine the miso, maple syrup, soy sauce, and smoked paprika with a splash of warm water to create a silky glaze.
4
Pour the glaze directly over the crispy tofu in the pan, tossing gently for 60 seconds until the sauce caramelizes and clings to the edges.
5
Serve the glazed tofu over a steaming bed of jasmine rice, arrange the bok choy on the side, and garnish generously with sesame seeds and fresh scallions for a vibrant, professional finish.
