If using dry quinoa, cook the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 425F and prepare a parchment lined baking sheet. Tear the tofu block into small bite size pieces (about 1-inch) and place in a large bowl or airtight container. Pour the tamari and vinegar over the tofu, cover the container then toss to evenly coat and allow the tofu to sit for 10 minutes.

Coat the tofu with the sugar, garlic, coriander, pepper, cornstarch and oil, then cover and toss again to evenly coat. Spread the tofu pieces out on a baking tray, making sure each piece has space between it. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, flip then bake again for 10-15 minutes.

Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium low heat, then when hot add the scallions, garlic and a pinch of salt then sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the quinoa to the pan along with a generous pinch of salt then stir to combine. Continue to sauté the mixture occasionally for 4-6 minutes until the quinoa becomes golden in color then add the kale. Continue to sauté until the kale has fully wilted, about 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a serving bowl.

To a small bowl combine the tamari, maple syrup, and chili crisp oil. Clear out the pan then heat it back up to medium low heat. Add the sauce and the baked tofu and toss to evenly coat.

To serve, divide the quinoa, tofu, and edamame between three plates and garnish with more scallions and sesame seeds then enjoy.
