Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz cubed firm tofu and cook, turning occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until golden and crisp on all sides. Remove tofu from skillet and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 3 cups broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4 minutes until bright green and just tender.
Step 3: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the broccoli, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Return the tofu to the skillet along with 1/2 cup unsalted cashew nuts. Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and broccoli.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
