Tofu and Broccoli

This is my go-to recipe when we are short on time and hungry! From the sound of this blog, it sounds like we are always starving and rushed for time but I swear we are not. 

This is also my daughter's favorite recipe ever. She never says no to it. This recipe involves two basic, cheap ingredients - tofu and broccoli. This recipe reminds everyone of Chinese food, probably because it uses soy sauce.

You'll need

 Extra firm tofu

Broccoli

Salt/Salt substitute

Pepper

Vegetable oil

Lemon juice

Soy Sauce

Garlic

How to make

Start the broccoli in a little water and oil. While that is cooking, start on your tofu. Cut it into blocks and press out the water. The dryer the tofu, the better. Toss that into a second pan with lemon juice, soy sauce, pepper, salt, and garlic. Put as much as you want of each - There is no wrong way to make this recipe. 


After about 5 minutes of cooking the tofu, add the broccoli in. You can add some more soy sauce so the broccoli tastes of it too. We use low sodium soy sauce. You can also season this with stir fry sauce but we like the taste of the soy sauce.

When everything gets a bit of a golden brown hue to it, you're done. The tofu will firm up a bit and turn a golden brown and the broccoli will turn brownish from the soy sauce.

That's it! You're done. Cut it up into small pieces if you are feeding it to a child.
