Seared Tofu with Sesame Stir-Fried Broccoli
- Number of Servings: 3
Ingredients
✦ 1-pound package extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes✦ 1 large head of broccoli, chopped into bite-size pieces (see instructions above for using stem)✦ 2 tablespoons sesame seeds✦ 1 tablespoon sesame oil✦ 2 tablespoon coconut oil or peanut oil✦ Soy sauce or Bragg amino acids, to taste
Drain the tofu, then line a large bowl with paper towels or a cloth towel. Place cubed tofu into bowl,
then press lightly with another towel to soak up as much of the moisture from the tofu as possible.
Repeat for as long as tofu is still giving up water, then set tofu aside.
Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and add tofu cubes. Leave for
2 or 3 minutes without stirring, checking to see if bottom becomes brown and crispy. When it does, turn
the tofu over to brown on another side (with small cubes, this is tough to do, just do what you can to flip
most of the pieces onto a new side). Aer another minute or two, carefully stir the tofu cubes for 30
seconds or so to lightly heat all sides, then remove from heat, drizzle with a little soy sauce, and set
aside.
While the tofu cooks, heat remaining tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sesame seeds and broccoli and stir frequently for about 5 minutes, until broccoli is tender.
Once the broccoli is cooked, add the tofu to the skillet and stir briefly to heat. Turn off the heat and
drizzle in the sesame oil and soy sauce to taste.
