Make the sauce
  1. Combine the listed Ingredients.
Cut vegetables
  1. Roughly chop the garlic. Separate the broccoli stem from the leaves, cut the former into smaller pieces and roughly cut the leaves.
Cooking
  1. Cook one serving at a time, if you don't have a gas burner and a high-quality wok.Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the wok/pan and add more throughout the process if needed.
  2. Start by stir-frying the tofu on high heat until slightly crispy (2 minutes)
  3. Add garlic and broccoli stems, continue for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add rice noodles, keep going for 30 seconds while stirring continuously.
  5. Add sauce and keep stir-frying for 30 seconds.
  6. Turn off the heat, add the broccoli leaves and continue for 1-2 minutes.

Notizen

  • Substitute the oyster sauce for more soy sauce + sugar and the dark soy sauce/vegan fish sauce for more soy sauce
  • If you can't find Chinese broccoli, sub for broccolini or any Asian green-leaf vegetable that has edible stems and proceed the same.
