Tofu And Broccoli With Peanut Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the Sauce: Place peanut butter and water in a sauce pan, heat on low heat and whisk until mixture is uniform.
• Add vinegar, honey, soy sauce and red chili flakes.
• Set aside.
• In a wok, heat half the oil, half the ginger, and half the garlic.
• When hot, add tofu and stir fry for a few minutes.
• Add tofu to sauce and set aside.
• To wok add the rest of the oil, ginger, garlic, and onion.
• When hot add the broccoli (which should be chopped into manageable bits, including the stems) and stir fry a few minutes.
• Add the soy sauce and stir fry until broccoli is just tender and bright green.
• Add sauce to broccoli and stir until everything is coated with sauce.
• Serve immediately over steamed rice.
• Top with lightly toasted chopped nuts and scallions.

Steps:

• Whisk the coconut milk, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, ginger, brown sugar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Firmly press the tofu dry with paper towels, cut into eight 1/2-inch-thick slabs, then firmly press dry again. Arrange in a small baking dish and pour half of the coconut milk mixture over the top; turn to coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, whisk the peanut butter and vinegar into the remaining coconut milk mixture until smooth; season with salt and pepper and set aside for serving.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Oil the grates. Trim the broccoli and peel the stalks; slice into thin spears. Toss with the vegetable oil; season with salt.
• Grill the broccoli, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the tofu from the marinade and pat dry; season with salt. Grill the tofu, lightly brushing occasionally with the marinade, until well marked, about 2 minutes per side. Serve the tofu and broccoli with the peanut sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

• Mix together gently.
• Wipe the skillet with a paper towel, and return it to the stove to begin heating once again.
• Add the remaining garlic.
• Salt lightly.
• Add the onions, and some black pepper.
• Sauté, stirring frequently, over medium heat, until the onions are soft.
• On another burner, begin heating the peanut-tofu sauce on a low heat.
• It shouldn't actually cook-it only needs to be warmed through.
• Add the broccoli and the chopped peanuts to the skillet.
• Add 2-3 tbsp tamari and stir-fry over medium-high heat until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.
• Pour the heated peanut sauce over the sauté.
• Toss everything gently until everything is coated with everything else.
• Serve over long-grained white or brown rice (basmati is good).

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet and brown tofu over medium high heat. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in steamed broccoli, peanuts and raisins. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. In a bowl stir together tahini and peanut butter. Stir in hot water and soy sauce and combine well. Pour sauce over broccoli and tofu mixture and toss to combine. Serve with white or brown rice.

Steps:

• Press tofu then cut into 1/2 inch cubes. See Anne Sainz's Notes above for more detailed instructions.
• Chop garlic, ginger, onion and mushrooms and set aside.
• Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sherry, water and sesame oil in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth to make peanut sauce. Set aside.
• Cut broccoli into bite sized pieces, then steam until tender crisp, about 6 minutes. Set aside.
• Coat large skillet with oil. Drop cubed tofu in the pan and stir-fry on medium high heat until golden all over, about 10 minutes. Remove and add to peanut sauce.
• Lower heat to medium, put ginger, garlic, onion, mushrooms and pepper flakes in skillet and cook until onions just begin to soften. Mix frequently, adding small amounts of water if needed to prevent sticking or burning.
• Add tofu and peanut sauce and heat through.
• Add steamed broccoli and heat through just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Saute broccoli, red bell pepper, mushrooms and tofu for 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl combine peanut butter, hot water, vinegar, soy sauce, molasses and cayenne pepper. Pour over vegetables and tofu. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender crisp.

Steps:

• Start cooking your rice according to package instructions. Start steaming the broccoli. In a small mixing bowl, mix peanut butter, water (or coconut milk), sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hot chili oil and salt until smooth.
• Pan fry tofu in the oil over high heat in a non-stick skillet until browned on both sides. Drain and return to hot pan (turn off the heat). Mix soy sauce and mirin together and pour over tofu, mixing well. It will bubble and form a light glaze.
• But the rice on a plate, add broccoli, tofu, carrot, and crushed peanuts. Drizzle with sauce and serve.
