Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz cubed extra-firm tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until edges are golden and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same wok, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tsp dried red chili flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1/4 cup water. Cover and steam for 4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return tofu to the wok, pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until sauce coats tofu and broccoli.
Step 5: Remove from heat, garnish with 3 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
