Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed extra-firm tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crisp; remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the same skillet and toss in 3 cups broccoli florets; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and just tender.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the broccoli and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant without burning.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Pour the sauce into the skillet with broccoli and garlic, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the broccoli, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and toss gently to combine and heat through for 1 minute before serving.
