Ingredients:
2 cups water
1 1/3 cups jasmine rice, rinsed
1 lb. extra-firm tofu
4 tsp. olive oil
8 oz. broccoli, cut into 1″ pieces
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and sliced thin
1 yellow onion, sliced thin
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup organic basil, sliced thin
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. rice or white wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper

Directions:
1. Combine water and rice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, then reduce heat to low and simmer until water is mostly absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let sit, covered, 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, crumble tofu over a double layer of paper towels and thoroughly pat dry. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tofu and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

3. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to skillet. When shimmering, add broccoli, peppers, and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds. Add basil, remaining 1/4 cup water, the soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is saucy and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Fold in tofu and remove from heat.

4. To serve, divide rice among four bowls and top with tofu mixture.
