Passo a passo
Tofu
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Remove tofu from packaging. Drain liquid. Slice in half longways.
Line a small sheet tray with paper towel. Place tofu on paper towel. Top with something heavy or apply pressure. You want to release as much liquid as possible from tofu. Let sit for 30 minutes, or longer if desired.
Remove to cutting board, cut into 1-inch cubes.
On a large rimmed sheet tray, pour vegetable stock and stir in rice.
Add red bell pepper and broccoli followed by the tofu cubes. Cover with foil.
When placing in the oven, keep tray leveled so not to spill the liquid. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove tofu and vegetables from the oven. Pour the sauce over then garnish with scallions and cashews. Stir until combined.
Fluff with a fork and serve. Enjoy!
Sauce
In a bowl, whisk all ingredients for the sauce, until sugar is dissolved.
