Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz firm tofu cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning carefully until all sides are golden and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return tofu to the skillet and pour in 4 tbsp sweet chili sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Toss everything gently and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens and coats the tofu and broccoli.
Step 5: Remove from heat, garnish with 2 sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
