Tofu with Broccoli

Ingredients

• 1 oz Firm tofu
• 4 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 piece(s) Garlic, peeled and minced
• 2 tbsp Scallions, green and whites chopped
• 1 cup Broccoli, broken into florets, stems chopped
• 1/2 cup Water
• 1 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp Chopped fresh cilantro or basil leaves

Instructions

1. Put the tofu on a cutting board and cut it in half and then cut each half into 4 equal pieces.
2. Put 2 layers of paper towel on a cutting board and put the tofu on top. Let drain at least 20 minutes (and up to 2 hours).
3. Place a skillet over medium heat and when hot, add 2 teaspoons oil. Add the tofu, one piece at a time, and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the tofu to a plate and set aside.
4. Reheat the skillet and when it is hot, add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add garlic and scallions and cook until just golden, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and water and raise the heat to high. Cook until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes.
5. Return the tofu to the pan and add the remaining ingredients. Stir well.
6. Serve with a side of brown rice.
