    Almond Butter Broccoli Stir Fry

    Published May 8, 2012 Β· Modified Feb 15, 2022 Β· by Alexis Joseph Β· 14 Comments

    In about a month, I'll be a college graduate.

    In about four hours, I'll be 22 years old.

    I definitely wouldn't mind some more coconut cake-- that's fo sho.

    Being stressed about getting old[er] can only be healed by one thing: cooking.

    Aaaand maybe a couple vodka sodas with lime.

    Almond Butter Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe

    -serves two

    Ingredients:

    • 1 pound organic tofu or chicken, cubed
    • 2 tsp oil (I used sesame)
    • 1 12-ounce bag broccoli slaw

    For the sauce:

    • 2 heaping tbsp almond butter (or peanut butter)
    • 2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp water
    • 1.5 tsp minced ginger
    • 1 tsp minced garlic
    1. Drain/press tofu for at least thirty minutes.
    2. Heat a large skillet with 2 tsp oil over medium heat.  Once oil is hot, add cubed tofu (it should sizzle when added to pan).
    3. Cook tofu for about 10+ minutes, flipping once browned until browned on all sides.
    4. While tofu is browning, combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
    5. Once tofu is done, transfer to a plate.  Spray the same pan with cooking spray and add broccoli slaw plus a few tbsp of water.  Cook until softened (5+ minutes), stirring often.
    6. Once broccoli slaw is tender, pour sauce over slaw and add tofu.  Season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine and serve!

     This sauce is so good that if you want to just use your fingers instead of the tofu and broccoli slaw, that's fine too.

    Cheers to a month left of college, four hours left of being 21, and never having to say goodbye to almond butter.

      I used the sauce on steamed broccoli florets instead of broccoli slaw for a simple side dish, and it came out great!

      What does drain/press tofu entail? I need a lesson on cooking tofu!

        You basically take it out of the package, wrap it in paper towels or a dish towel, place it on a plate, and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for 30 min to a couple hours. You may need to replace the paper towels. I have a tofu press at home that does the work for me hehe πŸ™‚ Here's an old tutorial!
