Instructions

Step 1: Toss 14 oz pressed extra-firm tofu cubes with 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 5: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp water, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Pour sauce over broccoli and add tofu back to the pan. Toss to coat and cook for 2 minutes until heated through and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
