If a chicken-and-rice bowl is familiar, crisp tofu and a spoonful of miso offer another direction.

Here’s how.

  1. 1

    Cook the rice

    Cook rice following its packet instructions. Steam broccoli for 5–7 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Brown the tofu

    Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook tofu for 10–12 minutes, turning gently until golden on several sides.

  3. 3

    Mix the dressing

    Whisk miso, vinegar, maple syrup and measured water until smooth.

  4. 4

    Glaze and serve

    Reduce heat under tofu. Add dressing and broccoli; toss for 1 minute. Serve over rice, spooning over the pan sauce.

Tofu that feels dry on the outside browns more easily. Pat it with a clean towel before cutting.
