Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed extra-firm tofu and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden and crisp. Remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add 3 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and just tender.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, stirring to combine.
  4. Step 4: Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water, then pour into the skillet. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the broccoli.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet and toss gently to coat everything evenly with the sauce. Cook for another minute to heat through before serving.
