Equipment

  • Stovetop Pot
  • Skillet
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 cups raw broccoli
  • 2½ tsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup hot water
  • ½ tsp fresh ginger paste
  • 1 tsp fresh garlic paste
  • 1½ tbsp coconut sugar
  • 3 tbsp tamari
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 cup dry soy curls

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large pot with enough water that it will cover 1 cup of soy curls. Bring the water to just about boiling (it doesn't have to come to a full boil), then turn off the heat and add in the soy curls.
  • Let them sit for 10 minutes to re-hydrate, then drain out the water and set the soy aside. Once they’re rehydrated, squeeze them gently to remove additional water.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add in 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Once hot, add in the raw broccoli. Sauté for about 5 minutes, 80% covered with a lid, until soft. Continue to stir the broccoli during this time. Add in a splash or two of water, to soften the broccoli further, if desired.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch and hot water in a small bowl, until smooth. Add in the remaining ingredients after the water, except the soy curls and sesame seeds.
  • Once the broccoli is done, remove from the skillet and set aside. Over medium heat, add in the remaining 1 tbsp of avocado oil.
  • Add the soy curls and sauté for 1-2 minutes per side, until cooked.
  • After this time, evenly pour over the sauce. Turn the heat to low and let it cook, partially covered, for a few minutes.
  • Once the sauce has thickened over the soy curls, stir in the broccoli.
  • Remove from the heat. Transfer to two bowls, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot over your favorite choice of grain (white rice pairs great with this)!
