Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice two to three times to remove excess starch, then drain.
  2. Put the rice in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup water and heat on medium-high. When it starts to bubble, turn the heat to medium-low, stir well, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. Finely chop the garlic and ginger, and cut the broccolini into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Pat the extra firm tofu dry with paper towel and cut into cubes.
  5. After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice steam for another 10 minutes.
  6. Mix the potato starch with 1/4 cup water to make a slurry, then stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and maple syrup.
  7. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and drizzle in some avocado oil.
  8. Sauté the tofu for 3-4 minutes, then set it aside.
  9. Return the pan to medium heat and sauté the broccolini, garlic and ginger for 2-3 minutes.
  10. Add the tofu back to the pan, then pour in the sauce and stir for about 10 seconds.
  11. Add 1/4 cup water and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  12. Serve the rice topped with the tofu, garnished with chopped green onion and white sesame seeds.
