These sticky tofu bowls are crispy, saucy, colorful, comforting, and surprisingly easy to throw together after a long day of work. Golden baked tofu gets coated in a glossy sweet-and-savory sauce that clings to every crispy edge, while roasted vegetables and fluffy rice turn it into a complete dinner that tastes like takeout — only fresher, healthier, and much more affordable. Better than takeout and perfect for meal prep, this easy weeknight recipe is satisfying, healthy, and loaded with bold Asian-inspired flavors.
To a parchment-lined baking tray, crumble your tofu and toss with olive oil, salt, and cornstarch. Bake at 450°F for 25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Spread your frozen veggies onto another tray and bake alongside the tofu at 450f for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the sticky Asian sauce by whisking all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and grating in the garlic.
Cook your rice according to package directions.
Once the tofu is golden, add it to a large skillet over medium heat and pour the sauce over top. Stir for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu.
Serve over rice with roasted veggies, and top with sesame seeds and green onions.
