Equipment: Large frying pan
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 400 g firm tofu, pressed and cut into thick slices
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp tamari, divided
- 2 tbsp olive or coconut oil, divided
- 200 g tenderstem broccoli (broccolini)
- 2 pak choi (bok choy), halved
- 100 g frozen shelled edamame beans
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Optional extras
- 2 spring onions (scallions), sliced
Method
- Brush the tofu with 1 tbsp tamari and press both sides into the sesame seeds.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and fry the tofu for 3-4 minutes a side until crisp and golden. Keep warm.
- Add the rest of the oil, the broccoli and edamame with a splash of water, and stir-fry for 4 minutes. Add the pak choi and garlic for 2 minutes more.
- Toss the greens with the remaining tamari and the sesame oil, and serve with the tofu and spring onions.
Swaps and tips
Pressing the tofu helps it crisp: wrap it in a clean tea towel and put something heavy on top for 10 minutes. Any green veg works: broccoli, spinach or green beans.
