We love having simple go-to recipes that we can whip up any night of the week. This peanut broccoli is a delicious side to make with almost any dish or eaten by itself on a bed of coconut rice. It’s super easy to whip up and only uses one pan! All you’ll need is:
olive or canola oil
broccoli
low sodium soy sauce or tamari
agave or maple syrup
All of the above are definite staples in our household! To stock up, check out the links and buy for yourself.
To make, cook the broccoli in some oil and water, whisk the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir into the cooked broccoli. It’s so easy, why not make tonight? Create yourself a feast by pairing with our orange tofu or sweet and sour tofu and coconut rice!
This dish can easily be made gluten free by using tamari. So, what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
