Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed tofu and sauté 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, 3 cups broccoli florets, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 3: Stir together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes in a small bowl.
Step 4: Return tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over tofu and broccoli. Toss gently and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and vegetables.
Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions over the dish before serving.
