This Sesame Tofu & Broccoli is great for vegetarians.

INGREDIENTS
14 oz. extra-firm tofu
2 small heads of broccoli
2 scallions
1 (1") piece ginger, peeled
2 garlic cloves, peeled
3/4 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 Tbsp. chili crisp
2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp. plus 1/3 cup cornstarch, divided
4 Tbsp. neutral oil, divided
Kosher salt
Toasted sesame seeds and steamed white rice, for serving

DIRECTIONS
Place 3 layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel on a plate. Place tofu on towels and cover with another 3 layers of towels or another clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy can or skillet on top of tofu to press moisture out, pouring off excess water and replacing towels as they get soaked, 30 to 45 minutes (you can do this with a tofu press if you have one).

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°. Cut broccoli heads into florets. Thinly slice scallions and separate green and white parts. Into a medium bowl or large measuring cup, grate ginger and garlic. Add white scallion parts, broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, chili crisp, vinegar, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch and whisk to combine.

Break tofu into rough 1" pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, drizzle with 1 tablespoon neutral oil, and gently toss tofu to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup cornstarch and gently toss until tofu is coated. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons neutral oil.

Bake tofu, turning halfway through, until light brown and crisp, about 25 minutes.

When tofu has about 12 minutes remaining, in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Add broccoli; season with salt, then toss to coat broccoli with oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until broccoli is starting to char, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a plate.

Reduce heat to medium. Whisk sauce to reincorporate cornstarch and pour into skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Add broccoli and tofu to skillet and toss to coat in sauce. Top with green scallion parts and sesame seeds. Serve over rice.

Have you seen those red light therapy masks that are trending? With regular use, they promise to stimulate cells to produce collagen, the foundation of healthy, resilient skin. This is based on photobiomodulation (the use of light waves to change human biology).

One 2025 study conducted by Korean doctors found that elderly participants who used a device with LED and IRED phototherapies at 630 nm and 850 nm experienced a significant improvement in the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes (crow's feet). If you'd like to check this study out, it's called "Clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of home-used LED and IRED mask for crow's feet: A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study."

However, much more research needs to be done to prove the effectiveness and safety of at-home devices. If you're using one, let us know if you've noticed an improvement. We'd love to know.

One-pot garlic chicken is easy to make and uses only one pot to make.

INGREDIENTS
4 medium chicken breasts
skin removed, sliced crosswise into thick strips
75g plain flour
2 tbsp olive oil
50g unsalted butter
10-15 small garlic cloves
or to taste
250ml hot chicken stock
100ml double cream
30g Parmigiano-Reggiano
finely grated
small bunch of flat-leaf parsley
finely chopped (optional)
cooked rice and steamed green beans, to serve

DIRECTIONS
Tip the chicken into a shallow bowl and sprinkle over the flour. Season well. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the chicken, shaking off any excess flour first, for 1-2 mins until lightly golden all over. (You may need to do this in batches.)
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Peel as many garlic cloves as you prefer, and drop these into the pan. Cook for 5 mins until the garlic has turned lightly golden, stirring to keep the chicken from burning.
Pour in the stock and simmer for 10 mins until the garlic is tender. Add the cream and cheese and simmer for a further 5 mins until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Scatter with the chopped parsley, if using, and serve hot with rice and green beans, if you like.

Did you know that sleeping on your stomach or front (face down) may ruin your lashes? Your lashes rub against the pillow all night, leading to breakage, thinning, and that sparse look over time.

Switch to your back if you can. It might help keep those lashes loud!
