This delicious recipe is a popular Korean banchan (side dish) which happens to be vegan and nutritionally balanced too with broccoli and crumbled tofu in savoury and nutty sesame dressing. The broccoli is just slightly blanched to bring out that crunch and combined with the soft smooth tofu, they make such a playful texture combo in your mouth! It can make a perfect snack or even a light meal on its own, because it's so good it can stand on its own not just as a side dish! Ready to see it for yourself?
