My Lean & Green Dinner - Broccoli/Tofu Stir-Fry!

I'm giving myself a deadline of March 5 (my birthday) to get fiiiit & trim & toned with the help of @toneitup. Why March 5? Because April I'm a bridesmaid in a bridal shower, and in May I'm a bridesmaid in Vegas and in June I'm a bridesmaid. So if by March 5, I'm not able to pull this off.... I'm going to start Cross Fit but I'd rather not!

So I started yesterday, Feb 20, with the working out again. My butt & hammies are soooo sore from doing the Tone It Up DVD combined with their Valentine's Day youtube video.

My hearty & lean & green dinner was Broccoli Tofu Stir-Fry! Absolutely filling.
so freaking 'lish!

INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 package of extra firm tofu (I cut them into cubes as you can see)
- 2.5 cups of broccoli (chopped)
- 1 cup of water
- 1.5 tsp ginger powder
- 1/4 tsp of cayenne
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed or minced

METHOD
- sautee the garlic, onions & olive oil for about 5 minutes (til the onions are cooked through) on medium heat
- cut tofu into cubes or triangles
- add ginger, cayenne & broccoli and cook for about 7 more minutes (til broccoli is cooked)

- in a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch, soy sauce, tofu & water
- cook til the sauce thickens then we're good!

You can add it over brown rice for a ToneItUp approved lunch! If its for dinner, I'd leave the rice out ;)

Enjoy!
