This is a very good vegan cum healthy stir fry. I am not sure of the origin of this healthy dish. But we can easily get this Asian stir fry in many Thai restaurants and in malls.
I love this dish very much.
I am sure this is gonna be a big successful video / recipe by all your support.
Ingredients:
Extra firm Tofu - 1/2 of a block
Broccoli 1 bunch / 200 gm / 1/2 Lb
Capsicum - 1
Garlic - 2 cloves
Olive / Sesame oil - 1 tbsp
Sauce:
Lemon - 1/2
Red chili flakes - 1/4 tsp (as per taste)
Brown sugar - 1 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Method:
Start 1 hour before serving.
Take the tofu out of the liquid filled pouch.
Halve the cube.
Cut the tofu into 1 inch size cubes.
Spread 2 or 3 kitchen paper towels (like a thick layer).
Arrange the tofu cubes and leave it for an hour.
This helps in draining most of the water from tofu, and this process will make the shallow frying easier.
We can skip this process too. But the tofu has a tendency to stick to the pan. The more the watery , the more the sticky. So drying over paper towels is a good idea. (I do without drying too , if I need something quick).
In the meantime, prepare the sauce.
In a bowl mix the lemon juice, sugar, salt, chili flakes.
Now cube the capsicum into bite size 1 or 2 inch size pieces.
Chop the broccoli into 2 inch size big pieces.
Finely chop the garlic.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil in a frying pan.
Add the chopped veggies and toss for 2 - 3 mins (no need to cook too much).
Just cook it tender crispy.
Take out and keep aside.
Wipe the pan using a paper towel.
In the same pan add 1 tbsp oil.
Add the tofu , arrange it in a single layer. Cook at low heat. Cook 2 mins each side.
Add finely chopped garlic. Toss well (without breaking the tofu).
Add the prepared vegetables along with the prepared sauce.
Mix gently.
Asian stir fry salad is ready !
Serving size :
Makes 1 bowl of salad for 1 person. Serves as lunch or breakfast or dinner.
Or can be divided into 2 for 2 persons and can be served with some more foods.
I made this along with 2 chapatis and a cup of channa masala , which I make in batches and keep these curries frozen.
