Instructions

To Prepare The Tofu

Wrap tofu in paper towels or clean towel and place on a plate. Place another plate on top of tofu, add a heavy weight on top of the plate and drain tofu for about 20 minutes. Skip this step if using superfirm tofu.
Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl, Bragg's Liquid Aminos, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, cayenne pepper.
Place tofu cubes in a ziplock bag or bowl, add marinade and gently toss to cover. Place the bag or covered bowl in the refrigerator to marinate for 15- 20 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet on medium-high, add tofu cubes and saute until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes.

To Prepare Fried Rice

Heat remaining oil in the skillet on medium-high, add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about one minute. Add broccoli and cook until tender and crisp, but bright green, about 3 minutes.
Stir in brown rice and cook stirring until heated through about 2 minutes. Stir in green onions, Bragg's liquid Aminos, sesame oil, and marinated tofu.
