BROCCOLI 'N RED PEPPERS STIR FRIED
The key to a good stir fry is to have the veggies piping hot but still crisp. Cook this to your liking in terms of crispness. If you like a thicker sauce add 2 tsp of cornstarch to the stock. Great with Chicken. If you wish this suitable for vegetarrian diets use veggie stock in place of the chicken stock I have made this again in 2009. I modified the recipe by omitting the sesame seeds, used no oil just a light spray of "no oil." Not caring for a lot of sauce cut out the stock and used 4 tbsp of vermouth with 3 tbsp light soy - It worked.

STIR-FRIED BROCCOLI STALKS AND FLOWERS, RED PEPPERS, PEANUTS AND TOFU
Probably most of you have used broccoli time and again in stir-fries. In this version I cut the stalks into 2-inch julienne, which is almost like adding a separate vegetable to the mix of broccoli flowers and red pepper (also cut in julienne). There's a lot of texture at play here - crisp-tender vegetables, crunchy peanuts and soft tofu. You can add a little spice if you want, but I've made the chili flakes optional.

Steps:
- Cut broccoli stems away from crowns. Peel stems, slice lengthwise, then cut in 2-inch julienne. Cut crowns in thin slices and collect all of the flower buds that fall off onto your cutting board in the same bowl with the sliced crowns.
- Dry tofu slices on paper towels. In a small bowl or measuring cup combine soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and stock or water. Combine salt and sugar in another small bowl and garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in another. Have all ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil by adding it to the sides of pan and swirling the pan, then add tofu and stir-fry until lightly colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Swirl in remaining oil, add garlic, ginger and pepper flakes if using and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add peanuts, all of the broccoli - stems, crowns and flower buds - and red peppers, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add salt, pepper, and sugar, toss together and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender, and return tofu to the wok. Add cilantro and stir together for about 30 seconds. Serve with additional soy sauce as desired and hot grains or noodles.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you save time and ensure that your stir-fry is cooked evenly.
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your stir-fry. Choose broccoli florets that are firm and deep green in color, and use a variety of colorful bell peppers.
- Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others are still raw.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will ensure that you have enough space to cook the vegetables without overcrowding them, which can result in steamed vegetables rather than stir-fried vegetables.
- Heat your skillet or wok over high heat: This will help to sear the vegetables and give them a nice caramelized flavor.
- Add the vegetables in stages: Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok, or the vegetables will steam instead of stir-fry. Add the vegetables in batches, starting with the ones that take the longest to cook, such as broccoli and carrots.
- Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy. Stir-fry them until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Add the sauce: Once the vegetables are cooked, add the sauce and stir to combine. Heat the sauce through and serve immediately.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or nuts: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your stir-fry.
Conclusion:
Broccoli Peanut Sweet Red Pepper Stir-Fry is a delicious and healthy meal that can be made in just 30 minutes. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber. Serve it over rice, noodles, or quinoa for a complete meal.
