Method
- Heat a large skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Roast the pecans until they start to brown, add the coconut flakes and continue roasting until they start to brown as well. Remove immediately and set aside in a bowl.
- Add the coconut oil to the pan and finely chop the garlic, then add the onion. Cook for a few minutes until they start to soften and brown.
- Add the tofu along with the marinade and mix well. After a few minutes, I like to pour some of the marinade into the bowl of raw ingredients so they’re coated in all the delicious flavors.
- Add the broccoli to the pan and cook until just tender has collapsed most of the marinade has been absorbed.
- Remove from heat, arrange in large bowl with salad and serve sprinkled with toasted pecans and coconut.

NOTES
If you can’t find tender stem broccoli, regular broccoli, green beans, or pak choi will work just fine.
