Sesame Broccoli Tofu

Tofu is my favorite protein in my dinner dishes, I never tire of the versatility. 

Sesame Broccoli Tofu
Serves 2

• 2 heads of broccoli, cut into small florets and stalks thinly sliced 
• 1/2 pound extra firm tofu
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced
• 1/2 medium sweet onion, sliced in thin rings
• sesame seed
• olive oil
• soy sauce
• sesame oil
• prepared brown rice or soba noodles

-Slice tofu into 1/2 inch slabs, cut each into 8 pieces

-Heat olive oil to medium-high in non-stick pan

-Add tofu and brown until crisp on each side, adding sesame seeds until toasted at the end.
-Remove from pan and toss with a little soy sauce in a bowl for later

-Saute onion, and garlic in olive oil, reducing the heat to avoid browning the garlic

-Cook until the onion has softened and add broccoli

-Add 1/4 cup of water (1/3 cup if you prefer softer vegetables) and 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, cook until the water is absorbed and broccoli is al dente.  Add more water if needed
