Time 20m

Yield 6 cups, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

14 ounces extra firm tofu, water-packed, drained
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon agave syrup
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for broccoli
1/2 lb broccoli floret
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for red pepper
1 red pepper, thinly sliced (I use red bell pepper)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for tofu
4 scallions, sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the tofu across the width into 6 slabs. Cut each slab in half to make 12 squares. Blot the tofu to remove some of the moisture and set aside.
  • Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Saute the broccoli in 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat until bright green and starting to brown in places, about 5 minutes. Remove broccoli from the pan.
  • Saute the red pepper in 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat until it starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the red pepper from the pan.
  • Saute the tofu in the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until browned, 2 minutes per side.
  • Add the vinegar mixture to the tofu and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Return the broccoli and peppers to the pan and gently toss to coat with the sauce.
  • Garnish with the scallions and serve with brown rice or another whole grain.

BROCCOLI 'N RED PEPPERS STIR FRIED



Broccoli 'n Red Peppers Stir Fried image

The key to a good stir fry is to have the veggies piping hot but still crisp. Cook this to your liking in terms of crispness. If you like a thicker sauce add 2 tsp of cornstarch to the stock. Great with Chicken. If you wish this suitable for vegetarrian diets use veggie stock in place of the chicken stock I have made this again in 2009. I modified the recipe by omitting the sesame seeds, used no oil just a light spray of "no oil." Not caring for a lot of sauce cut out the stock and used 4 tbsp of vermouth with 3 tbsp light soy - It worked.

TOFU HOISIN WITH BROCCOLI, RED PEPPER AND WALNUTS



Tofu Hoisin With Broccoli, Red Pepper and Walnuts image

This recipe takes a little more prep time than most of my other recipes but it's so delicious I don't mind. This is adapted from a recipe in Jeanne Lemlin's "Vegetarian Pleasures." I modified it so it is more in keeping with our Nutritarian eating style. To shorten prep time, you can use frozen broccoli and jarred garlic. You can serve it over whole grain rice if you wish. Pressing tofu: Cut it into 1/2 inch slices. Lay the slices out on a clean kitchen towel that has been folded in half or a couple of layers of paper towel. Fold the kitchen towel over the tofu slices or place additional paper towels on top. Cover with a small cutting board and place 6 to 8 cans on top to weight it down. Let tofu sit at least 30 minutes before cutting it into 1/2 inch cubes.
