Sydney Broccoli, Red Pepper & Tofu Stir Fry With Balsamic Vi image

Published for safekeeping, from CSPN Nutrition Action Newsletter, June 2011. To heighten the taste, brown the broccoli and peppers well to create a rich, caramelized taste. If you prefer, you can use chicken or shrimp instead of tofu. Serve with brown rice or another whole grain.

Time 20m

Yield 6 cups, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

14 ounces extra firm tofu, water-packed, drained
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon agave syrup
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for broccoli
1/2 lb broccoli floret
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for red pepper
1 red pepper, thinly sliced (I use red bell pepper)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for tofu
4 scallions, sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the tofu across the width into 6 slabs. Cut each slab in half to make 12 squares. Blot the tofu to remove some of the moisture and set aside.
  • Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Saute the broccoli in 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat until bright green and starting to brown in places, about 5 minutes. Remove broccoli from the pan.
  • Saute the red pepper in 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat until it starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the red pepper from the pan.
  • Saute the tofu in the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until browned, 2 minutes per side.
  • Add the vinegar mixture to the tofu and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Return the broccoli and peppers to the pan and gently toss to coat with the sauce.
  • Garnish with the scallions and serve with brown rice or another whole grain.

I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but this stir-fry changed my mind! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it absorbed the flavors of the sauce perfectly.
