Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
- 1 bunch spring onions, sliced
- 140g soya beans
- 2 heads pak choi, quartered
Protein
- 2 x 150g packs marinated tofu pieces
Sauces & Oils
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 ½ tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce (add extra to suit your own taste)
Nuts
- 25g roasted cashew nuts
Instructions
- Heat oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick wok over high heat.
- Cook broccoli: Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 5 minutes or until just tender, adding a splash of water if the broccoli begins to stick or catch on the pan.
- Add aromatics: Add the sliced garlic and deseeded red chilli to the wok, frying for 1 minute to release their flavors.
- Combine vegetables and tofu: Toss in the sliced spring onions, soya beans, quartered pak choi, and marinated tofu pieces, stir-frying everything together for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through and the pak choi is slightly wilted.
- Add sauces and nuts: Stir in the hoisin sauce, reduced-salt soy sauce, and roasted cashew nuts. Cook for an additional minute just to warm everything through and meld the flavors.
Notes
- Adjust soy sauce quantities according to taste preference for saltiness.
- Add a little water during broccoli cooking to prevent burning and help soften the vegetables.
- Use firm marinated tofu for best texture in stir-fry.
- Chilli can be omitted or adjusted for milder heat.
- Ensure cashew nuts are roasted to add a crunchy texture and enhance flavor.
