Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz firm tofu cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crisp on all sides, then remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 tbsp finely grated ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the broccoli, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tsp cornstarch until smooth. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir until it thickens and coats the broccoli, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Return the tofu to the skillet, drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over everything, and toss gently for 1 minute to combine.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
