Health Highlights

Ingredients


1 cup Brown rice, medium-grain, dry
1 package (1lb) Tofu, regular, extra firm (drained, dried, cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
1 medium Yellow onion (sliced)
1 small pepper(s) Red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 medium Carrots (julienned)
2 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
1 tsp minced Ginger root
6 cup Broccoli florets (cut into bite size pieces)
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp Hoisin sauce, ready-to-serve
1 tbsp Soy sauce
1/2 tsp Hot pepper (chili) flakes
1 tbsp Sesame seeds

Instructions


  1. Squeeze water from the block of tofu and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Cook rice as per package directions.
  3. On medium heat, pan-fry the tofu cubes in vegetable oil, allowing the tofu to slightly crisp before turning. Turn each piece of tofu on each side to very lightly fry and brown. Once done, remove from pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  4. In the same pan, sauté the onions, peppers, carrots, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions are just cooked. Do not overcook as these ingredients will be cooked more later. Remove from pan and set aside.
  5. Add ¼ cup of water to a pan and bring to a slight boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook on medium-high heat for three minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  6. With your large sauté pan on medium heat, add a little olive oil, the soy sauce, and the hoisin sauce. Move the pan around to mix the three ingredients together.
  7. Reintroduce the tofu to the pan. Carefully turning the tofu into the sauce, cook for three minutes. Add back the onions and pepper mixture and continue to cook for another three minutes. 
  8. Add the chilli flakes and the sesame seeds. Stir to incorporate all ingredients.
  9. Add the broccoli back into the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until the broccoli has finished cooking. Careful to not overcook broccoli.
  10. Serve with cooked brown rice, quinoa, noodles, in a lettuce wrap, or as is!
