   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      pound         firm tofu
    1      pound         broccoli
    1 1/2  pounds        peanut or canola oil
    2      cups          onion -- chopped
    1      tablespoon    fresh ginger
    4      cloves        garlic -- minced
      3/4  teaspoon      salt --  
    2                    scallions -- minced
                         spicy peanut sauce -- recipe in directions
    1      cup           lightly toasted -- coarsely chopped
 					
                         --spicy peanut sauce--
      3/4  cup           good peanut butter
      3/4  cup           hot water
    6      tablespoons   rice or cider vinegar --  
    3      tablespoons   blackstrap molasses
                         cayenne -- to taste
 
 Cut the tofu into 1 inch cubes and place them in a medium sized sauce pan. Cove
 r the tofu with water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for about 10
  minutes. Drain and set aside. (NOTE: Precooking the tofu in this way helps it 
 hold its shape in the stir fry.)
 
 Trim and discard the tough ends of the broccoli stems. Shave off the tough skin
 s of the stalks with a sharp pairing knife or a vegetable peeler. Cut the stalk
 s diagonally into thin slices. Coarsely chop the florets.
 
 Heat a large wok or a skillet of comparable size. After about a minute, add the
  oil and onion. Cook for about 2 minutes over high heat. 
 
 Add broccoli, ginger, garlic, and salt. Continue to stir fry over high heat for
  about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and just tender. Stir i
 n the precooked tofu, and the scallions, cook for a few minutes more.
 
 Add the sauce, stirring until everything is well coated. Serve immediately over
  rice, topped with lightly toasted chopped peanuts if desired. 
 
 --SPICY PEANUT SAUCE--
 
 Place the peanut butter and hot water in a small bowl, and mash together until 
 the mixture is uniform. 
 
 Wisk in remaining ingredients.  Set aside until needed for the stir fry.
