This is a dump everything into one dish and somehow it turns into glossy, saucy, better-than-takeout comfort food kind of meal. No stovetop. No pre-cooking. Just bake and eat!..

Ingredients

For the Bake:

• 1½ cups uncooked white rice

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ onion, diced

• 1 block firm tofu, cubed

• 2 cups broccoli florets

• 2 carrots, thinly sliced

• 1/2 cup water

• 3 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 1 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Add the uncooked rice to the dish and spread evenly.

3. Layer the cubed tofu, broccoli florets, and sliced carrots over the rice.

4. Pour in the vegetable stock and water.

5. In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together all teriyaki sauce ingredients.

6. Pour the sauce evenly over the casserole.
