2 cups	cooked white rice
1 block	extra firm tofu (pressed and cut into cubes)
1 tbsp	cornstarch
1 head	broccoli (cut into florets)
1	red bell pepper (cut into strips)
1 tbsp	olive oil
1 tsp	salt
	Peanut Sauce
1/2 cup	peanut butter (homemade or store-bought)
1/4 cup	soy sauce
1/4 cup	rice vinegar
1/4 cup	water, plus more to thin
2 tbsp	agave or sweetener of choice
1 tbsp	vegetable oil
1 tbsp	fresh lime juice
1 clove	garlic (minced)
1/2 tbsp	grated ginger
	Additional Toppings
	shredded carrots
	chopped peanuts
	sliced green onion
	sesame seeds

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200 °C and prepare a baking sheet. Coat cubes of tofu in olive oil and cornstarch then transfer to one side of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange broccoli florets and strips of bell pepper on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Step 2
As the tofu and veggies bake, prepare the peanut sauce by whisking or blending everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. To thin out the sauce, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Step 3
To assemble bowls: Scoop desired amount of rice into bowls then layer tofu, broccoli, peppers, and shredded carrots on top. Drizzle with peanut sauce, top with chopped peanuts, and garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds.
