Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy, then remove and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 cups broccoli florets, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp and fragrant.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp honey, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes.
Step 4: Return the tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything. Toss gently and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and broccoli.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
