"Broccoli is vegetable royalty, lauded for its cancer-fighting power so many times that it's a celebrity in the nutrition world."
Jonny Bowden Ph.D.

This meal has it all! Healthy protein from sprouted tofu (new in the Freshlife cooler) combined with the nutritional powerhouse of broccoli (certified organic - in the Freshlife produce case) the high-energy value of coconut oil and the anti-inflammatory benefits of ginger.

Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 head broccoli florets, cut into pieces
  • 2 medium carrots, scrubbed and sliced in 1/2” diagonals
  • 8 oz sprouted tofu cut into cubes
  • 3 TBS extra virgin coconut oil
  • 2 medium cloves garlic
  • 3 TBS tamari
  • 2 TBS Ginger Zinger Syrup (sub fresh grated ginger)
  • 1 TBS rice vinegar
  • 1 TBS honey
  • pinch of cayenne pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Wisk tamari, ginger syrup, vinegar, honey and cayenne in small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat coconut oil in wok or skillet. Add broccoli, carrots, tofu and garlic.
  3. Sauté about 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until veggies are crisp-tender
  4. Pour sauce over veggies.
  5. Toss and cook about 1 minute to heat sauce

Serve over cooked whole grain (rice, quinoa, kashi) or pasta. Especially good atop Oriental soba noodles. Enjoy!
