Ingredients & Equipment

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 teaspoons sesame oil
1.5 teaspoons sugar
0.75 teaspoon turmeric
0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
14 ounces tofu
1 medium onion
1 pound broccoli
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon pepper
0.25 cup cilantro
0.25 cup spring onions
2 cups rice
Equipment
Bowl
Wok
Skillet

Instructions

  1. Make the lemongrass marinade: Place the lemongrass, garlic, soy sauce, canola oil, sesame oil, sugar, turmeric, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl; stir to combine.
    • Lemon Grass - 2 tablespoons
    • Garlic - 2 cloves
    • Soy Sauce - 3 tablespoons
    • Canola Oil - 2 tablespoons
    • Sesame Oil - 4 teaspoons
    • Sugar - 1.5 teaspoons
    • Turmeric - ¾ teaspoon
    • Red Pepper Flakes - ¼ teaspoon
  2. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Leave the tofu to marinate for 10 minutes. (You can let the tofu marinate, covered, in the fridge for up to 24 hours.)
    • Tofu - 14 ounces
  3. Heat a wok or large skillet on medium-high for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the onions to the tofu and give them a quick toss so they’re coated in the marinade. When the skillet is hot, add the tofu and onions and cook, tossing often, until the onions have softened slightly, about 2 minutes.
    • Onion - 1 medium
    • Tofu - 14 ounces
  5. Add the broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and toss.
    • Broccoli - 1 pound
    • Salt - 1 teaspoon
    • Pepper - ½ teaspoon
  6. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover, give it a quick toss, and cover again. Cook for 1 minute or until the broccoli is just tender and still bright green.
    • Broccoli - 1 pound
  7. Top with cilantro or scallions and serve with rice or noodles.
    • Cilantro - ¼ cup
    • Spring Onions - ¼ cup
    • Rice - 2 cups

Notes

The new recipe maintains the core ingredients but enhances the flavor profile with additional aromatics and a slightly adjusted cooking method to ensure the tofu and broccoli are perfectly cooked. The use of cilantro or scallions as a garnish adds a fresh touch to the dish.
