]]> Do you prefer eating more nutritional meals or perhaps looking to provide your family with healthier lifestyles? Then this Chinese-American recipe is sure to bring a smile to the face of even the most reluctant eaters when it comes to vegetarian and tofu-based dishes. Here is your guide to whipping up a scrumptious sesame tofu and broccoli dish.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz. extra-firm tofu
  • 2 scallions
  • 2 small heads of broccoli
  • 1 piece of peeled ginger
  • salt
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • toasted sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons neutral oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Thinly slice scallions and separate green and white parts while also chopping up broccoli heads into smaller chunks. Place white scallion parts in a large bowl along with grated ginger and garlic. Add broth, soy sauce, chilli crisp, vinegar, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the mix and whisk until combined.
  2. Break the tofu into 1-inch pieces if not already broken up. Toss the tofu pieces into a separate large bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle tofu with 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and toss the tofu in order to ensure that all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Spread 2 teaspoons of neutral oil on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place tofu on the sheet and insert into the oven, baking for about 25 minutes, until light brown and crisp in appearance.
  4. About halfway through cooking the tofu, heat the remaining neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Throw in the broccoli and season with salt. Toss the broccoli to coat it thoroughly in oil. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until broccoli starts to char.
  5. Keep the sauce cooking, whisking it to reincorporate the cornstarch.
  6. Finally, toss the tofu and broccoli into the skillet and coat with sauce.
  7. Top with green scallion parts and sesame seeds and serve with rice.

The vegan tofu scramble is a versatile and protein-packed dish that can easily become a staple in your cooking rotation. The scramble will go perfectly as an egg substitute at your brunch or inside a sandwich with tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese. Let’s dive in.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 300 grams of tofu 
  • 3 teaspoons kala namak (black salt) – this is what will give the scramble the taste of eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of nutritional yeast
  • 1 box of fresh spinach 
  • 1 cup of water

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pan on medium-high heat and pour 3 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the chopped red onion. Saute the onion until transparent. 
  2. Crumble the tofu by hand into small pieces. Add the tofu crumbs to the hot pan with onions. Add the kala namak. Give it a good stir. Add ⅓ cup of water to the pan and stir it until the water evaporates. Once the water has evaporated, add another ⅓ cup. Continue the process until you’ve used up the full cup of water.
