Instructions

Step 1: Press and drain 14 ounces extra-firm tofu, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Add the tofu cubes and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 3 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon honey.
Step 6: Return tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over. Toss everything together and cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and broccoli.
Step 7: Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons sliced green onions before serving.
