List of Ingredients




1 pkg (16 oz) firm tofu
4 c broccoli florets
3 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 bunch scallions (about 8), trimmed and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced

1 sm jalapeño chile pepper, halved, seeded, and finely chopped (wear plastic gloves when handling)
3 ½ tsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp sliced almonds, lightly toasted
2 c cooked brown rice



Recipe



1. Place tofu on a plate, and top with a cutting board. Place several cans of food on the board to weight it down. Let tofu rest 30 minutes while water is squeezed out. Cut tofu into small cubes.

2. While tofu drains, lightly steam broccoli until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

3. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat. When hot, add tofu and cook, stirring constantly, 5 minutes to brown. Transfer to a shallow bowl.

4. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to wok, followed by scallions, garlic, pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Stir in soy sauce, almonds, and tofu, and gently toss to combine. Serve each portion with ½ cup of brown rice.
