Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toss 14 oz pressed and cubed firm tofu with 2 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated. Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil and 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves along with 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Pour over broccoli and add the tofu back into the skillet. Stir gently to coat all ingredients and cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to tofu and broccoli.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
