Tofu with Broccoli
Tofu cooked until golden brown, and broccoli sautéed in a soy and scallion sauce make up this one-skillet meal. Serve with a side of brown rice for a quick meal.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 pound firm tofu
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
- 2 scallions (green and whites portions chopped)
- 1 head broccoli (broken into florets, stems chopped)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (or basil leaf)
Serving Size: 1/2 cup (4oz)
Directions
- Put the tofu on a cutting board and cut it in half and then cut each half into 4 equal pieces (8 pieces total).
- Put 2 layers of paper towels on a cutting board and put the tofu on top. Let drain at least 20 minutes (and up to 2 hours).
- Place a skillet over medium heat and when hot, add 2 teaspoons of oil. Add the tofu, one piece at a time, cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the tofu to a plate and set aside.
- Reheat the skillet and when it is hot, add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add garlic and scallions and cook just until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli, soy sauce, and water and raise the heat to high. Cook until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes. Gently toss in the cooked tofu and turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and cilantro.
- Serve with a side of brown rice.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
