Stir-Fried Sakura Cheese Tofu with Broccoli Recipe

Stir-fried Sakura Cheese Tofu with Broccoli Recipe

Ingredients:

• 200g Sakura cheese tofu
• 1 small broccoli, cut into florets
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red chili, thinly sliced (optional, for heat)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp oyster sauce (optional for extra umami)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• Vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp water
• Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Open the Sakura cheese tofu packaging and thaw for 10 minutes.
   • Cut broccoli into small florets and wash thoroughly.
2. Blanch the Broccoli:
   • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 tea spoon of vegetable oil.
   • Add the broccoli florets and blanch for about 1-2 minutes, until they are bright green but still crunchy.
   • Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer it to an ice bath (cold water) to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
3. Fry the Cheese Tofu:
   • Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
   • Add the Sakura cheese tofu cubes and fry until all sides are golden brown. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

1. Sauté the Aromatics:
   • In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sliced onions. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
   • If using chili, add it now for a mild heat kick.
2. Stir-fry the Broccoli:
   • Add the blanched broccoli to the pan. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, until the broccoli is cooked but still crisp.
3. Add the Sauces:
   • Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil.
   • Add 2 tbsp of water to create a light sauce and help the vegetables steam a bit. Stir well to coat the broccoli with the sauce.
4. Combine with the Sakura Cheese Tofu:
   • Add the fried Sakura cheese tofu back into the pan.
   • Gently toss everything together so that the Sakura cheese tofu absorbs the flavors of the sauce and broccoli.
   • Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
5. Season and Serve:
   • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
   • Serve the stir-fried Sakura cheese tofu with broccoli while hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
