SAUTEED BROCCOLI WITH TOFU
 |
| "Hmmmmm.....Yummy" |
Ok after from this aisle we moved towards to aisle vegetables, today I want to make dishes from broccoli and I combine it with tofu but I don't use any meat, sometimes my family and I prefer a dish without any meat. Eating too much meat is also unhealthy but the best thing is to try to keep everything balanced between eating meat and vegetables.
I already founded the fresh and green broccoli and also the tofu, I choose shrimp tofu, it's taste like shrimp. I make this menu for lunch, so......it's time to went home and cook but let's go to the cashier first, pay all the stuff OK, let's goooooo.

To cook these vegetables we can use all the parts from broccoli, even the broccoli stalks. To use the stalks we have to peel it first, remove all the hard skin take the middle part or soft content inside the stalks, the middle part or the content of the broccoli stalks after peeled would be very similar to KAI LAN vegetable stalks, but not as big as broccoli stalks. We will cook the broccoli and tofu with sauteed method.
When you soak the broccoli in hot boiling water try to boil the stalks part a little bit longer than the flower parts. And.....ahh there's another tip after you cut all the broccoli, you should prepare water and little bit vinegar in the bowl and then soak the broccoli for 30 seconds or 1 minutes, it will remove the vegetable grubs inside broccoli.
