This is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in just thirty minutes and requires minimal fuss. Silken tofu is wonderfully delicate and absorbs flavors beautifully, plus it's packed with protein and iron, making it perfect for keeping you satisfied. The soy miso dressing ties everything together with a gorgeous balance of umami, tang, and subtle heat from the shichimi togarashi. Tender broccoli florets add a fresh crunch alongside the creamy tofu, while jasmine rice makes for a comforting base. It's the kind of meal that feels restaurant quality but honestly couldn't be simpler to prepare at home.

Add the garlic and 1 tbsp oil to a frying pan over a medium heat. When the garlic is just golden, add the broccoli and coat in the oil. Add 75ml cold water and stir fry for 5-6 minutes, until the water bubbles off and the broccoli is tender (add more water and cook for longer if the broccoli spears are thick).

Meanwhile, drain the tofu on kitchen paper, then cut into 1cm slices. Tip the broccoli onto a serving plate and top with the tofu. Spoon over half the dressing, then scatter with the salad onions and sesame seeds.

This is one of my favourite ways to use up a jar of chocolate sauce and create something that tastes far more impressive than it actually is. The magic happens when dark chocolate meets a hint of smoky chilli and the irresistible crunch of salted pretzels, all wrapped up in a simple sponge. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, so you can feel a little virtuous with each bite. What I love most is that this comes together in just 15 minutes of prep and 40 minutes in the oven, making it perfect for when friends drop by unexpectedly. It's basically a one bowl wonder that never fails to impress.
