Ingredients
- Sauce:1/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbs Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 Tbs sesame oil
- 1 Tbs tamari

- 1/2 cup walnut halves
- 1/3 cup water
Directions
- Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Make sure tofu is patted very dry to prevent sticking. Add tofu to wok and stir-fry until lightly golden. Transfer tofu to a platter and reduce heat to medium-high.
- Add a tsp of oil to the wok. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook 1 minute. Stir in red bell pepper, broccoli and walnuts and toss to coat with the garlic. Pour in water, toss vegetables, then cover the pan. Cook 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender but crunchy.
- Stir in tofu, then pour on the sauce mixture. Stir-fry 1 minute or until the sauce coats everything and is thickened. Serve on rice.
