Ingredients
Tofu: I have used 10 oz. block of firm tofu or 275 gm. tofu.
Vegetables: 1 head broccoli and 10 oz. mushrooms are used here.
Sauce: I have used 2 tbsp. soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tbsp. teriyaki sauce, 1 tsp. Miso, 1 tsp. maple syrup or brown sugar, chilli flakes and 2 tsp. Cornstarch. Also add 1 cup water to it.
Ginger and Garlic: I love both so I have used 1 tbsp. of both.
Sesame oil: I used 2 tbsp. of sesame oil. You can use any neutral tasting oil.
Instructions
Mix together all the ingredients for the sauce. I admit that I love miso and hence I use it in all my my stir fries. But you can totally skip that. Mix together soy sauce, vinegar, teriyaki sauce, miso (if using), maple syrup, ½ tsp. Chilli flakes or pepper along with cornstarch to form a thick sauce. Add 1 cup water to thin it down.
One commenter who tried the recipe mentioned that they doubled the sauce ingredients as they found the sauce a bit dry. You can go ahead and do that too. Or just add 1 to 2 cups water when making the sauce.
Heat sesame oil in a skillet and add ginger and garlic.
Fry for 30 seconds and add broccoli and tofu. Just mix together and let them get coated in oil.
Add in half the sauce prepared and mix well. Cover and cook for about 6-8 minutes till the broccoli is tender.
Add in the mushrooms and the rest of the sauce and cook for a couple of minutes.
You will have a thick sauce more like a glaze. Add water if you want it slightly runny. Or you could add more sauce ingredients too. I leave it as is. It is done. Garnish with scallion greens, sesame seeds and more chilli flakes.
Your broccoli, mushroom and tofu stir fry is ready to serve. Enjoy.
Expert tips
1. You can store this stir fry in an airtight container in the fridge for upto 3 days. Reheat and serve after adding some water.
2. Adjust sauce as per your taste. If you like it more sweet, add more maple syrup. Reduce chilli flakes to reduce heat.
3. Use firm tofu and press it well to remove all the water before using. It does not break apart. Silken tofu is not suitable here.
