Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the tofu and vegetables. Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut it into bite-sized cubes. Wash the zucchinis and cut them into thin slices or small cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the zucchini to the pan and cook until they are tender but still slightly crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the tofu to the pan and add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 500 milliliters of vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.
- Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the broth is slightly reduced and everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the tofu and zucchini mixture over the cooked rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious meal!
