Pan-Fried Sesame Tofu with Broccoli
A flavorful dish that's loaded with protein and packed with nutrients! I love the simplicity and flexibility with this meal. You can enjoy it on a bed of black rice, with steamed veggies, in a bowl of noodles or on a salad. I doubled the recipe and we enjoyed it throughout the week.
