Broccoli Tofu Stir-fry with Peanut Sauce

Serves 4-5

Ingredients

Rice or other grain (put on a pot before you start) ¾ tsp salt

1 lb firm tofu 2 scallions, minced

1 lb broccoli (about 3 heads) Spicy Peanut Sauce (below)

1 to 2 Tbsp peanut oil 1 cup peanuts, toasted (optional)

2 cups chopped onion

1 Tbsp grated ginger

4 cloves garlic, minced

1) Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and place them in sauce-pan. Just cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, then drain. While it cooks, move on to next steps.

2) Trim and discard broccoli stems. Coarsely chop the florets.

3) Heat a large wok or skillet on medium high heat. After a minute, add oil and onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes.

4) Add broccoli, ginger, garlic, and salt. Continue to stir-fry over medium high heat for about 5 minutes or until broccoli is bright green and tender.

5) Stir in the pre-cooked tofu and scallions (or leave the scallion for people to add to individual portions). Cook a few more minutes.

6) Add the sauce, stirring until everything is coated. Serve with rice and top with toasted peanuts.
