Tofu Broccoli Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• Wrap the tofu in 2 layers of paper towels and place on a plate. Put another plate on top of the tofu to weigh it down and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until drained.
• After microwaving, carefully unwrap the tofu and slice into ½-1 inch cubes. Pat each cube dry.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and cook on all sides until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per side, then remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add broccoli to the hot pan with the vegetable broth. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Steam for 5 minutes.
• Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
• Add the garlic, ginger, and remaining ½ teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir until softened.
• Add the soy sauce, agave, rice vinegar, and cornstarch slurry. Stir until thickened to your desired consistency. Add the sesame seeds and stir to incorporate.
• Return the tofu to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
• Serve over white rice and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, hot water, vinegar, and soy sauce (if you need to, put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to make it easier to mix).
• Warm the oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat.
• Add the broccoli and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add in the tofu, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Mix in the sauce until the tofu and broccoli are well coated.

Steps:

• Arrange tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels. Top with more paper towels and another baking sheet; weight with canned goods. Let tofu drain, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook broccoli (stalks and florets) in a large pot of boiling salted water until bright green, 2 minutes. Drain; set aside.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add tofu; cook until golden brown, turning gently halfway through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to paper towels.
• Meanwhile, make sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, red-pepper flakes, garlic, cornstarch, and 3/4 cup water; set aside.
• Add broccoli to skillet; cook over high heat, stirring often, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk reserved sauce to combine; pour into pan. Return tofu to pan; stir to coat, about 1 minute more. Serve topped with cashews.
