Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
In a large bowl, toss the tofu in sesame oil and liquid aminos.
Add arrowroot starch half a tablespoon at a time and toss until the tofu is fully coated, shaking the bowl to ensure even distribution.
Evenly distribute the tofu on a lined sheet pan and roast for 40-50 minutes.
Toss the broccoli in sesame oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 30 minutes.
To prepare the sauce, add all ingredients except the starch to a saucepan, bring to a simmer, add the starch, and whisk until thickened, about 60 seconds, then set aside.
Toss the tofu in the sauce and serve with the roasted vegetables and a grain of choice.
Tips
Wrap the tofu in a paper towel and press with something heavy for 10-30 minutes before using.
