Directions:

(Prep) Remove tofu from packaging and squeeze out water. Cut tofu into thinner slices and cover with paper towels. Place tofu on a rack and put a heavy pot on top. Let sit for 30 minutes.

(Sauce) Stir together Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic. Cut tofu into bite-sized pieces. Cover with sauce and toss to coat. Let sit 30 minutes.

(Cook veggies) Heat some chopped garlic in a pan. Add your veggies and saute until cooked through. Pour some of the marinade from the tofu into the pan to season the veggies, and set aside.

(Cook tofu) Heat olive oil in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Once really hot, add tofu. Once nicely seared on the bottom, flip over. Continue to cook until seared on bottom.

Drizzle with sesame oil and remove from heat. Sprinkle with green onions.

(Assembly) Mix cooked white rice with the quinoa & brown rice mix. (This is a great way to add some healthier grains in without changing the fluffy texture from white rice. Also, it looks more exciting)
