Spicy Thai peanut sauce is another of my favored shortcuts to great flavor. There are a number of good, natural brands available, some much lower in fat than you might expect. Serve over hot cooked brown rice or Asian noodles such as soba.

　　

Ingredients

4 Servings

　　2 large broccoli crowns, cut into bite-size florets

　　1 pound firm or extra-firm tofu, well drained and diced

　　3/4 cup spicy Thai peanut sauce, preferably low-fat, or as needed

　　Salt to taste

　　

Step 1

Steam the broccoli florets in a covered wok or stir-fry pan with about 1/2 inch of water, until tender-crisp.

　　

Step 2

Gently stir in the tofu and peanut sauce. Cook over medium heat until heated through. Add salt to taste, and serve at once.
