Tofu Broccoli Stir Fry
Tofu Broccoli Stir fry
My Tofu Broccoli Stir fry recipe I often make for when I want more plant protein. I grew up eating tofu and actually prefer it over steak in my stir fry's. The key to making good tofu is frying it on the outside to give it a crispy texture before adding it to your stir fry's. Or else it will have a soft mushy texture that is not appetizing. You can fry it in coconut oil or avocado oil. I serve my Tofu Broccoli Stir Fry with a side of brown rice or quinoa for an extra boost of protein. Please remember to use extra firm tofu when making this recipe for Tofu Broccoli Stir Fry so it won't fall apart when cooking.
