TOFU AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY



Tofu and Broccoli Stir-fry image

I got this recipe from a local grocery store. It is very simple, and lends itself to many variations and additions. The peanut sauce is nice as-is, but I added some chili-garlic sauce to it to give it some heat. I like my tofu very firm and crisp, so I drained it very very well before putting this together.

  • Use extra-firm tofu: This type of tofu holds its shape better during cooking and absorbs the flavors of the sauce more easily.
  • Press the tofu before cooking: This helps to remove excess moisture and makes the tofu more flavorful.
  • Cut the tofu into small cubes or slices: This will help it cook evenly.
  • Marinate the tofu: This is a great way to add extra flavor to the tofu. You can use a variety of marinades, such as soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
