BROCCOLI AND TOFU WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Broccoli and Tofu With Spicy Peanut Sauce image

This is a really yummy vegetarian dinner option. Even my non-vegetarian husband said it was great. Don't neglect to freeze/thaw/press the tofu as this will give the tofu a better, chewier texture. For additional flavor you can marinate the tofu in a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil.

1 bunch broccoli (about 1 1/2 pounds), ends trimmed, stems peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
