Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz firm tofu cubes and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden and crisp. Remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 4 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over the tofu and broccoli. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 1 tsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving.
