Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil divided
- 2 cups broccoli, small pieces
- 1/2 packet of tofu, 7oz
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/8 cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut amino
- 1/8 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 1/4 cup water
- Chili flakes to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- sesame seeds for garnish if desired
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Add in the broccoli and sauté until tender and caramelized in medium-high heat, 4-5 minutes. Remove broccoli from the pan and set aside.
Meanwhile cut the tofu into 1/2 to1 inch cube. Make sure to press the tofu with a paper towel to remove extra water.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet, pan-fry tofu until crispy and caramelized on the outside, around 3-4 minutes on each side.
After add in the garlic. While that’s frying, add the chili flakes and sauté everything for a few seconds. Season the tofu mixture with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile in a small bowl combine soy sauce, maple syrup, and sesame oil. In another small bowl mix the cornstarch with water & whisk.
Add the sauce to the pan with tofu along with the broccoli. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes and serve immediately with sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
