Directions
Vegetable Kung Pao with Broccoli and Peanuts, I love to make this when I want to sneak a meatless dinner to my family. It’s so delicious, they don’t miss the absence of meat! The spicy sauce is great with the tofu, peanuts and broccoli., I made this for dinner tonight and it was enjoyed. I did make a few substitutions so won’t rate the recipe. I didn’t have scallions(couldn’t make it to the store), so used red onion. For the chili paste used a tsp. of ketchup and a dash of hot sauce. I didn’t have rice wine, so used white wine. I served this over brown rice. Thank you Jude for a good dinner!, I love to make this when I want to sneak a meatless dinner to my family. It’s so delicious, they don’t miss the absence of meat!
