  1. Prep Tofu
    1. Heat the oven to 220C and line a baking sheet. Pat the extra-firm tofu dry, cut into bite-size cubes, and gently toss with half of the soy sauce, half of the toasted sesame oil, and the cornstarch until coated.
    2 piece Extra-firm tofu, 0.1 cup Soy sauce, 1 tbsp Toasted sesame oil, 0.5 cup Cornstarch
  2. 2. Spread the extra-firm tofu on the baking sheet, scatter over the sesame seeds, and bake until deep golden and crisp, turning once halfway through.
    2 piece Extra-firm tofu, 3 tbsp Sesame seeds
  3. Make Dressing
    3. Whisk the remaining soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, remaining toasted sesame oil, garlic, and fresh ginger until smooth. Cool the dressing before packing.
    0.1 cup Soy sauce, 2 tbsp Maple syrup, 3 tbsp Rice vinegar, 1 tbsp Toasted sesame oil, 2 clove Garlic, 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
  4. Assemble Boxes
    4. If needed, reheat or refresh the cooked rice so it is fluffy, then let it cool. Cook the shelled edamame in boiling water until tender, drain well, and cool.
    4 cup Cooked rice, 2 cup Shelled edamame
  5. 5. Divide the cooked rice, shredded cabbage, carrots, shelled edamame, and baked extra-firm tofu among meal-prep containers, keeping the shredded cabbage away from the warm ingredients until everything is cool.
    2 piece Extra-firm tofu, 4 cup Cooked rice, 6 cup Shredded cabbage, 3 piece Carrots, 2 cup Shelled edamame
  6. Pack
    6. Pack the dressing in separate small containers and store with the boxes. Toss the dressing with the contents just before eating to keep the shredded cabbage and baked extra-firm tofu crisp.
