1 Step 1: Take the tofu out of the package and drain it.2 Step 2: Press the tofu in a tofu press for 30 minutes, or wrap it in a paper towel or towel and place a heavy pan or object over it. Press for 30 minutes.3 Step 3: Cut the tofu into cubes.4 Step 4: In a mug or bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, and garlic.5 Step 5: Place the tofu in a storage container with a lid and pour the marinade over it.6 Step 6: Put the lid on the container and gently turn it upside down to make sure the marinade gets on all sides of the tofu.7 Step 7: Place the tofu in the fridge, upside down, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. 1-8 hours is best, but sometimes we don't have the time.8 Step 8: Pour the corn starch over the tofu and gently mix until you don't see the corn starch anymore.9 Step 9: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.10 Step 10: Take the tofu out of the marinade and place it on an oiled or lined baking sheet.11 Step 11: Once the tofu is ready to bake, wash the sweet potatoes and dice them or cut them into rounds.12 Step 12: In a bowl, pour the 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the sweet potatoes and stir them around.13 Step 13: Add a pinch of salt and stir.14 Step 14: Place the sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet and put them in the oven at the same time as the tofu.15 Step 15: Bake both for 25 minutes, then flip the tofu and stir the sweet potatoes around. Bake for another 20 minutes.16 Step 16: Take them out once the sweet potatoes and tofu look golden brown, about 40 minutes total.17 Step 17: Take them out of the oven and off the baking sheet, and let them cool for 5 minutes to firm up.18 Step 18: While the tofu is baking, get the rice started. Cook the brown rice in a rice cooker or on the stove according to the package directions. 2 cups of dry brown rice usually takes 4 cups of water. It usually takes 30-40 minutes to cook brown rice. While the rice is cooking, prepare the other ingredients.19 Step 19: Once the sweet potatoes have about 10 minutes left, shred the red cabbage.20 Step 20: Steam the baby bok choy for 5 minutes.21 Step 21: Assemble everything in the bowl.
