Teriyaki Tofu Stirfry

Serves 4 with rice.

There is nothing I love more than a delicious teriyaki sauce, yummy broccoli and fried tofu. This dish has the lot. I highly recommend that you try this... vegan or non-vegan, you will definitely love this. It really reminds me of a restaurant-quality dish... but healthier and cheaper! Jerome craves naughty food... so this is a dish that I make him that he really enjoys. But it is not naughty, it just tastes like it should be bad for you! When I make this for dinner, I always try and get out of bed a little earlier than him, so that I can eat the leftovers for breakfast before he can! Muahaha *strokes beard*


Tofu
    1 package (350g-ish) tofu, chopped into cubes
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar


Teriyaki Sauce

    1/3 cup soy sauce
    1/4 cup water
    3 1/2 tablespoons agave nectar
    1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
    1 tablespoon sesame oil
    1 teaspoon treacle
    5-6 medium garlic cloves, minced
    2 teaspoons ginger, grated
    1 teaspoon corn flour


Stir-Fry

    2 tablespoons olive oil
    5 cups broccoli florets, bite-sized pieces
    1 teaspoon water
    1 capscium, diced
    1/2 cup raw cashews
    1/2 cup spring onions, chopped


Rice (optional)



  1. In a shallow bowl, add tofu, soy sauce and vinegar and marinate for at least 10 minutes. Flip tofu once while marinating.
  2. In another bowl, whisk all teriyaki sauce ingredients until corn flour has dissolved.
  3. Meanwhile, cook rice to package instructions. (Rice is optional)
  4. In a fry-pan, add tofu and marinade and keep tossing until browned on each side.
  5. In another fry-pan or wok, heat the oil, broccoli and water. Toss, cover and cook for 4 - 5 minutes until the broccoli turns bright green. Then add capsicum and saute uncovered for another 1 - 2 minutes.
  6. Once the tofu has browned, add the broccoli and capsicum to the pan. Add teriyaki sauce and increase to high heat. Toss to coat and let sauce come to a slow boil.
  7. As soon as sauce is at a slow boil and has thickened, add cashews and green onions and toss to combine. 
  8. Remove from heat and serve over rice if you made some
