Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the tofu
- In a medium bowl, season the rice flour with salt and pepper.
- Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into 1-inch cubes. Transfer to the bowl with the rice flour and toss to coat; shake off any excess.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 3 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the tofu and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in as many whole dried chiles as you like and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Transfer the tofu and chiles to a paper-towel-lined plate and season to taste with salt and pepper. Wipe out the pan.
While the tofu is cooking, prepare the scallions and broccoli.
2
Prep the scallions; cook the broccoli
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal for garnish.
- Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets; trim any coarse stems.
In the same pan used for the tofu, add the broccoli and enough salted water to cover halfway. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until crisp-tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and return to the pan; season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the broccoli is cooking, prepare the rice.
3
Cook the rice
Place the brown rice in a medium frying pan, cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
4
Finish the dish
In a small bowl, using a fork or whisk, mix together the arrowroot powder, General Tso’s sauce base, and ½ cup [¾ cup] water to form a slurry.
Add the arrowroot slurry to the pan with the broccoli and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Add the tofu and chiles, stir to coat, and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, discard the chiles, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the rice to individual bowls and top with the tofu and broccoli. Garnish with the scallions and serve.
