Instructions
1
Marinate tofu:
a. Press tofu to remove all moisture from it. Pat dry with a paper towel. Cut into ½" cubes and add to a bowl. Season with ½ tsp salt.
b. Pour adobo sauce over tofu and set aside for 20-30 minutes.
2
Cook jasmine rice:
a. In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups water (1 cup water for 2-person portion), cover, and bring to a boil.
b. Add jasmine rice; stir immediately. Cover and cook over low heat until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Meanwhile cook tofu adobo:
a. In a dutch oven over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil.
b. Add tofu, reserving marinade. Cook until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
c. Flip tofu, add reserved adobo sauce, 1 cup water (½ cup for 2-person portion), ginger (peel & thinly slice), bay leaves (leave whole), jalapeno (Optional; trim stem, slice in half lengthwise, remove seeds as desired), and potatoes (½” dice). Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
d. Uncover and cook until adobo sauce reduces and thickens, another 4-5 minutes.
4
Saute broccoli and bok-choy:
a. In a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat, add broccoli (cut spears with small florets and thin stems) and ½ cup water.
b. Cook until broccoli is fork-tender and water dissipates, 3-4 minutes.
c. With water gone, reduce heat to medium, add 2 tsp olive oil, half of the garlic (mince), and ¼ tsp salt or dash of tamari/soy sauce. Sauté until garlic softens, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
d. In the same sauté pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tsp olive oil, remaining garlic (mince), red onion (thinly slice), and bok choy stems (thinly slice). Sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
e. Add bok choy leaves (thinly slice). Sauté until wilted, about 1 minute.
5
Serve:
a. Divide jasmine rice among plates. Top with tofu adobo.
b. Serve sautéed broccoli and garlicky bok choy alongside.
Chef's notes
If you don't like tofu, you can use vegan sausage instead. Follow the same recipe except seasoning the sausage with salt.
