Ingredients

• 1 block extra firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1 cubes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 1/4 cups water (or more, as needed for your preferred quinoa cooking method)
• 4 cups water
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (only needed for Oven Directions)
• 1 batch Oil Free Avocado Pesto (You can make this while the tofu and broccoli cooks. You can also use any sauce you like, if pesto isnt your thing.)

Directions

• In a large shallow dish, toss together the tofu cubes, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, soy sauce, and vinegar. Set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
• If youre cooking your tofu and broccoli in the oven, preheat it to 400F now.
• While the tofu marinates and the oven preheats, cook the quinoa with the 1 1/4 cups water using your favorite method. I have lots of quinoa cooking options outlined here! I prefer my pressure cooker, since its so easy and quick.
• In a small pot, heat the 4 cups water on high, and bring it to a boil. Drop in the broccoli florets, and cook for 2 minutes. Do not bring them back to a boil, start them timer as soon as the broccoli hits the water. Transfer cooked broccoli to a colander to drain, rinsing with cold water to stop it from cooking.
• Oven Directions: Toss the broccoli with the other tablespoon of olive oil and the tofu + any marinade left in the bowl. Transfer the tofu-broccoli mixture into an 8x8 glass baking pan. Cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, so that everything cooks evenly. For that last, optional 10 minutes, youll want to stir every 5 minutes, checking the broccoli for doneness. Whether you cook for the extra time depends on how crispy you like your broccoli.
• Air Fryer Directions: Transfer the tofu into your air fryer basket, reserving any leftover marinade. Cook at 400F for 10 minutes, shaking after 7 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the broccoli with the leftover marinade from the tofu bowl. When the 10 minute cooking time is up, add the broccoli to the tofu mixture, and air fry for 5-7 more minutes at 400F.
• Divide the cooked quinoa between 4 serving bowls. Top with the tofu-broccoli mixture. You can drizzle with the pesto now, or let folks do that right at the table.
