Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 3, white and green parts separated scallions
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Press 14 oz firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add tofu cubes, and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown on all sides, flipping carefully.
- Step 2: While tofu cooks, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tbsp chopped white scallion parts in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Step 3: Add 2 tbsp neutral oil to the skillet with the tofu, then add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup shredded carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the vegetables.
