Cook the rice – In a pot, add rice, water (or broth), turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook 15 minutes until rice is fluffy.
Prepare the stir fry – Heat oil in a large pan or wok. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds. Toss in broccoli and stir fry for 5–6 minutes until bright green and slightly charred.
Cook the tofu/tempeh – Add tofu or tempeh cubes into the pan. Splash in soy sauce and cook until golden and crisp.
Make the tahini sauce – In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, water, and salt. Adjust water for a creamy but pourable texture.
Assemble the bowls – Divide turmeric rice into serving bowls. Add broccoli and tofu mix. Drizzle tahini sauce on top. Finish with pickled onions, sesame seeds, cilantro, or kimchi.
