Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz diced extra-firm tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
2. Step 2: Remove tofu and set aside. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 cups broccoli florets, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and slightly tender.
3. Step 3: Return the tofu to the skillet, then add 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and broccoli.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions over the dish before serving.
