Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed extra-firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy, then remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Sauté 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets, 1 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes. Stir fry for 3 minutes, then pour in 1/4 cup water, cover, and steam for 4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return tofu to skillet, drizzle with 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, and toss everything together over medium heat for 2 minutes until heated through and sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
