Ingredients:

  • 200 grams of broccoli florets

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Press the tofu to remove excess water and slice it into cubes. Toss the cubes in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped garlic. Arrange in one layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway until edges are browned.
  2. Rinse quinoa under cold water. Bring two cups of water to a boil and add a little salt. Put quinoa into the boiling water, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. The grains should be translucent and the germ mostly detached.
  3. While the quinoa and tofu are cooking, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pan. Sauté the bell peppers, broccoli, and optional chili until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with soy sauce.
  4. Once quinoa and tofu are cooked, add them to the pan with vegetables and stir to combine everything together. Season again to taste if needed.

Plating:

Serve the Vibrant Vegan Tofu & Quinoa Stir-Fry in a wide, shallow bowl to optimize the colorful display of the meal. Layer the bottom of the bowl with the quinoa, then arrange the tofu cubes and vibrant veggies on top, creating a delightful mix of colors. For a finishing touch, sprinkle fresh chopped chives over the dish to enhance visual appeal while adding a subtle onion flavor. A slice of lemon can be added on the side for those who might enjoy a citrus zest to lift up the taste profile. The overall look should be colorful, rustic, yet refined, celebrating the freshness and simplicity of the ingredients.
