Here is another healthy stir-fry on “eat the rainbow” series. This is a very easy stir fry that can be made in under 20 minutes. I have used Vegetarian oyster sauce today. I have also given the link for the product below.

Here is how to make Broccoli and Tofu Stir Fry
Cut the tofu into half inch cubes. Dust the tofu with little corn starch, salt and red chilli flakes.

Heat oil in a wok and add in the tofu. Roast the tofu on both the sides for a couple of minutes. Remove the roasted tofu from the wok and set aside on a plate to cool. We will add it back later.

Heat oil in a wok and add in the minced garlic and the ginger. Saute for a few seconds. Do not roast the ginger and garlic for long.

Add in the carrots and the mushrooms.

Add in the onions and the bell peppers. Add in the salt. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for a few minutes. You want the veggies to be crisp. Do not over cook the veggies.

Add in the oyster sauce and the black pepper powder. If you want a spicy stir-fry, you can also add some red chilli flakes at this stage. I have not added any.

Add in the broccoli florets, cover the pan with a lid and cook for couple of minutes. Broccoli cooks fast. So make sure not to cook for long else the Broccoli will become soft and soggy. We want it to retain its crunch.

Make a corn starch slurry with water and corn starch. Add it to the wok. Let it come to a simmer. The sauce will thicken and coat the veggies.

Finally, add back the roasted tofu and the spring onions.

    Hi,
    Taste and texture of tofu available in India is not very good. Which brand of tofu do you use?
