Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 7 oz cubed extra firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 3: While broccoli cooks, whisk 3 tbsp peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1/4 cup water in a bowl until smooth.
Step 4: Return tofu to skillet with broccoli. Pour peanut sauce over and stir gently to coat everything evenly. Cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats tofu and broccoli.
Step 5: Drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil over the skillet and toss once more. Serve topped with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp crushed peanuts for texture.
