Sesame Tofu Stir-Fry over Rice
1 T. sesame seeds
1 T. black sesame seeds
1/2 tsp. salt, divided
1 (1-lb.) package firm or extrafirm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tsp. peanut oil
2 tsp. dark sesame oil
Cooking spray
4 C. thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps (about 3/4 lb.)
3 C. (2-inch) slices asparagus (about 1 lb.)
1/4 C. thinly sliced green onions
1/2 C. fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 T. hoisin sauce
1 1/2 T. low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. chili garlic sauce (such as Lee Kum Kee)
2 C. cooked long-grain brown rice
Combine sesame seeds and 1/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add the tofu cubes; toss gently to coat. Combine oils in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu; stir-fry 5 minutes or until tofu is golden. Remove tofu from pan; keep warm. Return pan to heat; coat with cooking spray. Add mushrooms; stir-fry 3 minutes or until mushrooms begin to brown. Add asparagus; stir-fry 4 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Reduce heat to medium; stir in green onions. Combine broth and next 4 ingredients (broth through garlic sauce). Add broth mixture to pan; remove from heat (sauce will thicken). Add tofu and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt; toss gently to combine. Serve over rice.
