Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

1 pound extra firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch chunks
¼ cup lite sesame ginger salad dressing
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Cooking spray
2 cups broccoli florets
1 (8-ounce) package sliced mushrooms
4 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
¼ cup sliced almonds
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce

Mix the tofu and sesame ginger salad dressing in a bowl and marinate for 30 minutes.
Once the tofu is done marinating, remove the tofu from the marinade and reserve the marinade.
Add the sesame oil and cooking spray to a wok or large sauté pan over high heat. Add the tofu and stir fry for 7-8 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown.
