For a complete, well-balanced meal, add some diced firm tofu to the stir fry and serve over brown rice.

Ingredients

• 1 large broccoli
• 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 3 tbsp tamari
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 tbsp peanut oil
• 1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cut broccoli into small florets and peel and thinly slice stems. Steam broccoli until barely tender, about 3 minutes. Rinse under cold running water to set the color and stop the cooking process, then drain and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, combine sesame oil, tamari, hoisin, and sesame seeds and set aside.

3. Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the bell pepper and garlic and stir-fry to soften slightly, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli and sauce and stir-fry, coating vegetables with sauce, until the vegetables are cooked to the desired doneness, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.
