    1 Combine soy sauce and mirin with 1/4 cup water. Set aside.

    2 Place cornflour in a shallow bowl. Add tofu chunks and toss to coat.

    3 Heat a heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat. Spray with oil. Add tofu and cook, tossing, to brown all sides; about 5 minutes.

    4 Once tofu is browned, reduce heat to low and add soy sauce mixture. Toss to coat tofu in sauce, allow sauce to reduce slightly, then set aside.

    5 Microwave or steam broccoli for 1 minute. Heat another pan to high heat and spray with oil. Add broccoli, spring onion and ginger and toss, cooking for 2 minutes. Add spinach and stir-fry until wilted. Remove from heat. Dress with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    6 Prepare rice according to packet instructions. Serve teriyaki tofu on rice with sesame greens on the side.
