Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed firm tofu, cooking for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil to the skillet. Sauté 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets, stirring constantly for 5-6 minutes until bright green and just tender.
Step 4: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the broccoli, stirring to coat.
Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet, tossing gently with broccoli and sauce for 2 minutes until heated through. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
