Broccoli Stirfry with Peanut Sauce
I had the best peanut sauce ever when Jose and I were in Chicago a few weeks ago. Since then, I have been trying to find a good recipe for peanut sauce. Most recipes call for honey or some other type of sweetener (which I can’t have) and lemon juice. I nearly fell off my chair when I found the recipe below. Using orange juice instead of the sugar and lemon juice is genius ! I decided to try it. It is definitely not as good as the peanut sauce we had in Chicago but I thought it was a yummy and probably healthier alternative.
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp canola oil
1 clove of fresh garlic, minced
12 oz firm or extra firm tofu
3 tbsp chunky peanut butter
6 tbsp soy sauce
6 tbsp orange juice
1 head of fresh broccoli, cut into florets
1. Heat sesame and canola oils in medium pan.
2. Add garlic and tofu and cook for 5 minutes or until tofu is golden brown. Set aside.
3. Heat peanut butter, soy sauce, and orange juice in a wok or a large pan over low heat, stirring frequently.
4. Add broccoli and stir fry over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.
5. Carefully stir in tofu. Remove from heat and serve with noodles or brown rice.
