Extra-firm tofu works best in this recipe. Use any type of green veggie in place of the broccoli — try green beans or broccoli rabe — and serve over steaming brown rice.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Asian sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 3 tsp olive oil, divided
  • 8 to 10 oz extra-firm tofu, rinsed, patted dry, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 stalk broccoli, cut into small florets
  • ½ medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas, halved lengthwise
  • 2 Tbsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
  • 2 Tbsp thinly sliced scallions (white and light green parts only)

Instructions

  1. In small cup, combine oyster sauce, broth, sesame oil, vinegar, and cornstarch.
  2. Warm 2 tsp of the olive oil in large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add tofu; cook 3 minutes per side, until light golden. Add broccoli and 1/3 cup water; bring to a simmer. Cover; reduce heat and simmer 4 minutes, until broccoli is crisp-tender. Transfer tofu and broccoli to large plate.
  3. Warm remaining 1 tsp of oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add pepper strips. Cook 3 minutes, stirring. Add snow peas, ginger and oyster sauce mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring
  4. Serve over rice. Garnish with scallions.
