Ingredients

For the Crispy Tofu

400 grams Tofu Extra Firm
2 tablespoons Cornflour
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper ground
1 1/2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

For The Sauce

1/4 cup Low Sodium Light Soy Sauce
2 teaspoons Hoisin Sauce
2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Chilli Flakes
1 tablespoon Cornflour
1/4 cup Water

For The Stir Fry

1 tablespoon Oil
4 Garlic Cloves finely chopped
1 inch Ginger peeled and finely chopped
1 Whole head of Broccoli stems removed and cut into florets (approx 600 grams)
Toasted Sesame Seeds and chopped Green Onions for topping

Method

* Dab the tofu with a kitchen towel or paper towel to get rid of any extra moisture. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes and toss them in a mixture of cornflour, salt and pepper.

* Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.

* Heat oil in a non stick pan and spread the tofu pieces out so that they are evenly layered on the pan.

* Cook each side till its a light golden brown and remove from the pan.

* Don’t worry if the tofu pieces stick to each other a bit. You can easily pull them apart once they are cooked and crispy.


* Heat oil in the same pan and once its hot, add garlic and ginger. Saute for a minute and add the broccoli florets.

* Cook them for a minute and pour the sauce into the pan.

* Stir fry for a minute or two on high heat to let the sauce thicken and then add the tofu.

* Quickly toss everything together and turn off the flame. Top with sesame seeds and green onions and serve.
