Broccoli almond tofu stir fry

Recipe Information

Ingredients

• 16 ounces tofu, firm

• 4 cups broccoli florets

• 3 teaspoons sesame oil

• 8 scallions

• 3 cloves garlic

• 1 jalapeño pepper

• 3 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons almonds, lightly toasted

• 2 cups brown rice, cooked

Directions

• To drain the tofu, place tofu on a plate and cover with another plate. Apply pressure by placing weight, such as canned food, on the top plate. Keep pressure on for 30 minutes to remove free water. Then cut tofu into cubes.

• While the tofu drains, steam the broccoli for 5 minutes, or until tender. Set aside.

• On a cutting board, slice the almonds and set aside. Using the same cutting board, thinly slice the scallions and chop the garlic.

• Using gloves, halve peppers and remove seeds. Then finely chop.

• In a wok on high heat, heat 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Add the tofu and pan fry, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until slightly brown. Transfer the tofu to bowl and set aside.

• Set the heat between medium and high and, to the same wok, add 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add the scallions, garlic, pepper, and broccoli and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, almonds, and tofu, and sauté with other ingredients for 1 minute.

• Serve immediately by placing 1/2 cup brown rice on each plate and dividing the stir-fry in four equal portions.
