Instructions
The best part of making any stir fry recipe is just how simple it is to actually make!
Once you’ve prepped all of the ingredients as per the ingredients list, all you have to do is follow these super simple steps in order to make the stir fry!
- Step 1: Turn on the heat and add the tbsp of olive oil to the wok or skillet, allow it to heat up.
- Next, add your broccoli, and allow it to saute in the olive oil for up to 2 minutes.
- Once the broccoli has been sauted, you can then add the rest of the ingredients before stirring them to combine them all together. Ideally you want your tofu to really brown on the edges and for it to absorb as much flavor as possible from the sauce (Check out How Long To Marinate Tofu).
- Then once you’ve allowed everything to brown off and caramelize slightly, you can then remove it from the heat and serve it up! If you want your sauce to be just a bit thinner, you can easily add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
Yield: 2 servings
Preparation time: 5 – 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 20 – 25 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
The best thing about stir fry, and this recipe especially, is that you can choose to serve it up in so many different ways that its versatility is almost unmatched.
For example, if you want to go for a super healthy option, you can serve this alongside some brown rice to help make it really hearty, and even more comforting than it initially was (You might want to checkout this delicious Vegan Paella Recipe here).
Alternatively, you could thin out the sauce with some water and add your favorite noodles in to create a delicious noodle soup, which on a cold winter’s day would be certain to warm you up in no time at all.
Of course, there are also a whole host of other sides that you could compliment your stir fry with, spring rolls make a great addition to any dinner time table if you’re having stir fry, just make sure that they’re vegan though!
Another option would be Gyoza, which are essentially just steamed dumplings, and are often filled with wonderful different fillings, they’re quite often filled with a meaty inside, but vegetable ones do exist, so find ones that suit you best!
Our final serving suggestion is perhaps not very authentic, but we find that sometimes one of the best sides to go along with your stir fry is a few simple slices of delicious crusty bread!
This goes along well with the stir fry and will be sure to make this comforting meal even more hearty and wholesome!
Final Words
So, if you’re looking for a super simple recipe that is hearty and filling whilst also being packed with all of that veggie goodness, then this is a recipe for you!
Since my sister introduced me to vegan cooking four years ago, I have discovered so many delicious alternatives to the traditional meaty meals I used to eat.
Today I enjoy trying and making my own vegan-friendly alternatives. If my sister can do it, then so can I (and you can, too). It is easier than you may think, promise!
