Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound broccoli

1 pound dried pasta (linguine or fettucine)

2 tablespoons dark (roasted) sesame oil

1 tablespoon light olive oil

2 tablespoons garlic -- minced

1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

1 6 oz package baked, pressed tofu -- cut into 1/2-inch cubes

6 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

 

Cut 1/2 inch off the ends of the broccoli stalks and cut the thick stalks away

from the tops. Separate the tops into florets. Peel away the fibrous outer

layer of the broccoli stalks and cut them into bite-size chunks.

 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until

crunchy-tender, about 4-5 miinutes. Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon

and rinse it under cold water. Drain.

 

Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook it until it is al dente.

 

While the pasta is cooking, heat the sesame oil and olive oil in a skillet. Add

the garlic and red pepper and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the broccoli, tofu

cubes, soy sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar, and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Remove from heat.

 

Drain the pasta and toss it with the the broccoli mixture. Serve warm or at

room temperature.
