Ingredients
6 ounces Firm tofu
2 cups Broccoli florets
1½ teaspoons Sea salt or kosher salt
½ teaspoon Sesame oil
4 cups Water for boiling
1 teaspoon Sesame seeds, toasted and crushed
Directions
Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook for 3–4 minutes until just tender-crisp. Drain well in a colander and set aside.
While the broccoli cooks, unwrap the firm tofu and gently crumble it by hand into bite-sized pieces into a medium bowl. The pieces should be rustic and uneven, not finely mashed.
Add the drained broccoli to the crumbled tofu and sprinkle with the sea salt. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to break the tofu pieces further.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the tofu and broccoli mixture and toss lightly to distribute evenly.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the toasted and crushed sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Comments
Tofu and broccoli are stocked at every major Charlotte chain, and sesame oil and seeds are available at Kroger, Harris Teeter, and Walmart, making this a single-stop shop. The real time is closer to 20 minutes once you account for pressing tofu and cutting broccoli, but the recipe itself stays simple and true. At roughly $2.50 to $3.00 per serving depending on tofu quality, it's budget-friendly, though the dish is best eaten same-night and loses texture if reheated. This works well as a quick weeknight side or light lunch for one or two, but doesn't scale generously if you're feeding a crowd.
