Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press 14 oz extra-firm tofu for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Step 2: Toss the tofu cubes with 3 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crispy.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
  5. Step 5: Add 1 sliced red bell pepper and 2 cups broccoli florets to the skillet with tofu, stirring and cooking for 4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Step 6: Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens slightly and glazes the ingredients.
  7. Step 7: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
