Kids’ plate: Tofu and Broccoli Stir-Fry
On the plate: Rice with small tofu pieces, soft broccoli and tender bell pepper.
Make it a game: Make a rice hill and park tofu cubes around it. Choose a broccoli tree to explore at your own pace.
Set it aside at step 5, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
