Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g broccoli florets
- 400 g firm tofu
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
- 200 g cooked quinoa
Instructions
Press the tofu: To begin, wrap the tofu in a clean towel and place something heavy on top, like a pan, to remove excess moisture. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Prepare the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, julienne the red bell pepper, and slice the carrot diagonally.
Mince the garlic and ginger finely. Chop the green onions into small rings, separating the white and green parts.
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a large pan or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cubed tofu to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become vibrant yet crisp.
Pour in the soy sauce, and toss everything to coat well. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked quinoa to the pan, mixing all ingredients thoroughly.
Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your high-protein broccoli stir-fry!
