Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed extra firm tofu, cooking for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crisp. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 4 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: Stir together 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss with broccoli until evenly coated and sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 5: Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and gently toss to combine with the broccoli and glaze.
Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving warm.
