This is a great, straightforward weeknight recipe, packed with vegetables and whole-grain brown rice. Plus, it satisfies a take-out craving without too many calories or sodium. Normally it’s great to get all your ingredients prepped before proceeding with the recipe, but here, it’s worth getting the rice on the stove before starting to prep the vegetables and pouring the condiments. When cooking the tofu, don’t disturb the planks too often. That will ensure a crisp, brown coating.

  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil to skillet and heat over medium-high. Add Broccolini, carrot, and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender and carrot is lightly golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Add soy mixture and cooked rice to skillet and stir to combine, then add tofu. Cook until mixture is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with sriracha.
