Dynamite Tofu With Rice and Broccoli

1 lb. extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup sesame oil

1–2 Tbsp. Sriracha sauce, or to taste
1 Tbsp. agave nectar, or to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups steamed or blanched broccoli

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Lightly coat the tofu cubes with the cornstarch. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden.
