TO MARINATE AND SHALLOW FRY TOFU:
- In a fry pan combine all the ingredients listed for marination (except tofu) and mix.
- Add tofu and gently mix to coat uniformly.
- Cover and keep aside to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- To shallow fry, add oil in a pan and once hot add the tofu and fry for approximately 1-2 minutes each side longer if you like them a bit charred. Remove on a plate and keep aside.
- If there is any marinade left keep it as we will use it in stir fry.
TO MAKE BROWN RICE STIR FRY:
- In the same or different pan, add oil on medium high and once hot add the ginger garlic and spring onions. Saute on medium high for a minute or until the onions are soft.
- Then add the broccoli florets, red pepper salt pepper and mix well. Saute for about a minute or two and then add the remaining tofu marinade. Cook on high for about 2-3 mins or until partially cooked (not completely).
- Now add the remaining sauces like soya, siracha, vinegar and ketchup and mix well.
- Cook for about a minute and then add the brown rice. Mix so that everything is well incorporated. Stir intermittently so that the rice warms up.
- Finish off with some spring onions green, sesame seeds followed by marinated and shallow fried tofu. Mix everything gently to avoid breaking the tofu.
