I still remember those days when I used to consider broccoli to be mini trees and did not want anything to do with it. Slowly I started to try it and nowadays I like broccoli more than cauliflower. Since broccoli and tofu go very well together in stir fries, I decided to combine them with rice in this dish. Chinese flavors also happens to be my favorite and I tend to look for ways to use soy sauce and chilly sauce . The rice tasted delicious and I am sure you can also add tofu without baking, but we are spoilt in that we love baked tofu. Off to the recipe.
