Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 3 cups broccoli florets and leaves
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Sauce Mix

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar

Optional toppings:

  • 2 tbsp chopped cashews or peanuts
  • 1 tbsp toasted coconut
  • 2 cups cooked tofu

Instructions

  1. Add oil to a medium-sized pan and heat on almost high till the oil shimmers. Turn heat to medium. Add ginger and garlic, saute gently for a minute or so. Add the sauce and stir and cook for a couple of minutes.

  2. Once the smell of the mixture changes - it will brown and caramelize a little - add in the broccoli and toss it all together. Coat the florets and leaves (if any) in the sauce mixture Cook for 10 minutes on medium heat. Optional: depending on how the broccoli is cooking you may need a couple of tbsp of water. Add sesame seeds and toss and turn. Add salt as needed. Optional: if you're adding cooked tofu double the sauce and add in a few minutes after the broccoli.

  3. Serve with lime wedges, crushed nuts on top along side salmon or rice
