Smokey barbecued tofu and charred broccoli!
On a cold Sunday afternoon, I swear by doing the absolute minimum. I couldn't be bothered to go to the supermarket but wanted an easy and healthy (but delicious) meal. So I looked in the fridge to see what I had - a broccoli, a pack of tofu and a bottle of barbecue sauce. This meal is a quick and easy one that only takes 20 minutes to make, and only requires 7 key ingredients.
I am obsessed with barbecue sauce at the moment so thought I'd use it in a marinade. The sweetness from the BBQ BBQ sauce, the saltiness from the soy sauce and miso paste, the flavour from the garlic powder and the crispness from the oil make the perfect delicious marinade to smother the tofu and broccoli in.
For a bit of a kick I drizzled a bit of sriracha sauce on top, and sprinkled some spring onion and coriander on for some extra fresh flavour :)
Give it a go and let me know how you get on!
