Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed firm tofu in a single layer and sauté for 4-5 minutes without stirring until the bottom is golden and crispy.
Step 2: Flip the tofu cubes and add 2 cups broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli starts to become bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 3: Add 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Stir constantly for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp honey. Toss everything to coat evenly and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and glazes the tofu and broccoli.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately.
