Chef's Notes
Gluten-Free
Substitute tamari for the soy sauce.
Soy-Free
Substitute coconut aminos for the soy sauce. Substitute 1 (15-oz) can chickpeas for the tofu. You can also use portobello mushrooms or add more vegetables.
Pressed Tofu
Wrap tofu in a clean kitchen towel. Place the wrapped tofu on a plate and set a baking sheet or cutting board on top. Add weight onto the baking sheet or cutting board (i.e. a heavy cookbook, a cast-iron skillet, or canned beans). It should be enough to press down evenly on the tofu and squeeze out excess moisture. Let the tofu sit for 30 minutes, then remove the weights and unwrap.
Chinese Broccoli
You can find Chinese broccoli at Asian markets (look for “gai lan” or “kai-lan”). If you don’t have access to an Asian market, you can substitute organic broccoli, spinach, or even kale.
