Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cube 14 oz firm tofu into 1/2-inch pieces and press to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Cook 1 cup soba noodles in boiling water until al dente, then drain and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 head broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Push the broccoli to the sides and add the tofu, cooking for 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Step 5: Whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp sriracha, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Pour the sauce over the tofu and broccoli, stirring to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the dish.
  6. Step 6: Toss the noodles into the skillet and stir to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with additional sesame seeds.
