Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the tofu into wide strips, place it between two kitchen towels, press with a cutting board, and let it sit for 1 hour to squeeze out excess moisture.

Step 2

Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the tofu with half of the hoisin sauce, place it on an oiled baking sheet, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Grill for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip the tofu, brush the other side with hoisin sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and grill again until golden and crispy.

Step 3

Meanwhile, sauté the ginger, garlic, and chili in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil until fragrant. Add half of the shallot and sauté, stirring, for another minute. Add the rice and stir-fry for another 5 minutes until heated through. Then add the blanched broccoli and edamame, drizzle with soy sauce. Transfer to plates, top with the tofu, and sprinkle with the remaining shallot.
