Spicy Tofu and Broccoli Stir-Fry

 

2 tablespoons tamari or other soy sauce

1 tablespoon water

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar, (or a natural sweetener)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 pound broccoli flowerets, trimmed

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

8 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

3 tablespoons minced scallion

Hot cooked long-grain white rice

 

 

 

 

In a small bowl stir together the tamari, water, salt, sugar, sesame oil and

cornstarch. Set aside. In a large skillet or wok heat the vegetable oil over

medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 30 seconds, transferring

them as they are cooked with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. When

finished stir-frying the broccoli, add the garlic, red pepper flakes, ginger,

and tofu, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return the broccoli to

the skillet and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the tamari mixture and the scallion

and stir-fry one minute longer, or until the broccoli is just tender and coated

with the sauce. Serve over rice.

 

Serves 4 to 6

" Bright green broccoli flowerets, spiced with a garlicky ginger sauce, provide a

striking contrast to the tofu and snowy white rice. (From Rice & Spice by Robin

Robertson, Harvard Common Press, May, 2000.) "
