Put on Creamy Broccoli Tofu Soup + Crispy Broccoli Grilled Cheese when you want something spicy and the evening is already moving.
You'll taste the 170 g broccoli, blanched and 70 g tofu first.

Ingredients
- 170 g broccoli, blanched
- 70 g tofu
- 6–7 g garlic
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- A little coconut milk/cream
- 1/2 tsp chili oil
- 60 g sourdough bread
- 35 g mozzarella cheese
- Crispy broccoli chips, as shown
Steps
- Blend about 70–80% of the blanched broccoli with the tofu until smooth.
- Flatten the remaining broccoli, top with a little mozzarella and air-fry until crispy — these are your broccoli chips.
- Sauté the garlic in olive oil; add the broccoli-tofu blend, season with salt and pepper and cook until warm and creamy.
- Pour into a bowl and top with the crispy broccoli chips, a little coconut cream and chili oil.
- For the grilled cheese: sandwich the remaining broccoli chips and mozzarella between two slices of sourdough and toast until golden and melty.

Tips
- Taste for salt before it leaves the pan. The pinch is easy to miss.
- Keep ginger and garlic moving in the oil so they toast instead of burn.
