I am extremely satisfied with this recipe. Rarely can one find a recipe that tastes just like the take-out Chinese he/she loves. The flavors in this recipe are excellent. If you love orange like I do, add about 1 TBSP orange zest to the sauce. This recipe is best served over brown rice. It is just like having take-out, but without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money! Enjoy!
Servings: 4
1 lb. extra-firm organic tofu, cut into cubes or triangles
1 lb broccoli, cut into florets (frozen works just as well)
4 cloves garlic, diced
4 green onions, diced
3/4 c water
1/4 c orange juice
1 TBSP lemon juice
2 TBSP seasoned rice vinegar
4.5 TBSP soy sauce
1/4 c light brown sugar (1/2 the amount if using splenda substitute)
1/2 tsp red pepper (cayenne pepper can be substituted)
1.5 TBSP cornstarch
After prepping your veggies, dry-fry tofu until browned, or saute in oil if you must. Steam/Boil the broccoli until tender, drain.
Whisk remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a large skillet to medium, and add tofu, broccoli and sauce mixture. Bring to a simmer, then continue to simmer until the sauce is reduced to your liking, stirring occasionally. Make sure to taste the sauce. If it has too much orange, go ahead and add another TBSP of low sodium Soy sauce.
Serve over brown rice & enjoy!
