Sesame Tofu and Broccoli with a side of Spinach

For the tofu we tried an Orange and Sesame Tofu recipe from Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan. You bake the tofu in the sauce then sprinkle on seeds and green onions when done. We were missing green onions which I think would be a nice add and we used corn starch for the thickener. The result was a nice soft tofu and enough thickened sauce to treat the broccoli as well. Next time we would go ahead and toss them together before serving. Broccoli was from Immer and is simply steamed then tossed with sesame oil, ginger, and seeds. Spinach was from Immer sans the cream. We did use some fresh ground nutmeg which was nice. Meal paired nicely with a California Chardonnay. Excited to have this tofu recipe to add to the basic tool kit. Had not had much success with this approach before but I don't think previous versions had the thickener.
