SWAP ScoreChoose Often
Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) is a stoplight nutrition ranking system designed to help promote healthy food choices. SWAP ranks food as either green (choose often, supports health), yellow (choose sometimes, can contribute to good health), or red (choose rarely, limited health benefits). These rankings are based on the amount of saturated fat, sodium, and sugar in one serving of the recipe. These nutrients were chosen because they are most associated with chronic disease risk.
Ingredients
- 1 pound tofu, firm, drained, water pressed out, cut into 8 cubes
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 medium head broccoli, chopped
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, low sodium
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
Directions
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the tofu, one piece at a time, and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the tofu to a plate and set aside.
- Reheat the skillet and when it is hot, add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add garlic and scallions and cook until just golden, about 2 minutes.
- Add the broccoli and water and raise the heat to high. Cook until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes.
- Return the tofu to the pan and add the remaining ingredients. Stir well. Serve hot.
Recipe Tips
For extra color, add red peppers or carrots when cooking the broccoli.
