Description

Ingredients

• 1-14 oz package of tofu, cut into 1 cubes
• ¾ cup sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ cup sesame oil
• 2½ cups broccoli
• ½ cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup carrot, spiralized or finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ⅓ cup vegetable broth
• ¼ cup tamari or soy sauce
• 3 Tablespoons coconut sugar
• ¼ cup sesame oil
• ¼ teaspoon white pepper
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

• Start by draining the tofu. Let it rest on a towel or paper towel for a few minutes. Lightly press to remove as much liquid from the tofu as possible.
• Cut the tofu into 1 cubes.
• In a small bowl, combine sesame seeds and ½ teaspoon of salt and toss in the tofu cubes to coat on all sides.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat (we prefer to use our cast iron skillet for this). Add the tofu and sear on each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
• Remove the tofu and place on a paper towel lined plate.
• Over medium heat, sauté the onion and carrot until slightly tender then add garlic and broccoli.
• Add vegetable broth and seasonings and cook until the broccoli is tender – about 5 minutes
• Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, tamari, and coconut sugar and stir until the sauce reduces and becomes syrupy.
• Return the broccoli mixture and tofu to the skillet with the sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes until broccoli reaches desired tenderness.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and finely chopped green onion.
