My version of Tofu Broccoli Stir Fry is not only easy to make, and it is healthy and delicious. This is a simple and tasty dinner that is packed with flavors and protein. And it only takes 30 minutes to make. The Tofu is perfectly marinated with amazing seasonings and the Broccoli has a nicely chewy texture. The combination of two is harmonious.
I love my Tofu to be lightly crispy outside and still taste soft inside – the perfect texture. Once started, you just want to keep eating. Every bite is calling your name. This Tofu Broccoli Stir Fry makes a wonderful weeknight meal or a quick lunch. Either way, your family will love them and ask you for more.

WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS RECIPE
TOFU
As the Tofu needs to be marinated and slightly fried in Oil, I recommend that you use the less fragile Firm or Extra Firm Tofu. I used Extra Firm Tofu for this recipe. As I live in Scandinavia, I love a Swedish brand named Yipin. But I also recommend 365 Whole Food brand. Marination is one of the most important steps for making this recipe. It immerse great flavors and beautiful colors to the Tofu.
STIR-FRY SAUCE
The Stir-Fry Sauce is made out of Vegetable Stock – which I used Vegetable Bouillon and water, Chinese Cooking Wine, Hoisin Sauce, Light and Dark Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, and Cornstarch. The taste is both savoury and sweet.
