Ingredients

For Tofu

14 ounce Extra Firm Tofu pressed
½ teaspoon Salt adjust to taste
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper freshly cracked
2 tablespoon Cornstarch

For the Sauce

3 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dark Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
⅓ cup Water

For the stir fry

2 ½ tablespoon Oil divided
1 head Broccoli about 1 pound, cut in medium size florets about ¾-1 inch
5 cloves Garlic finely chopped
1 inch Ginger finely chopped
½ teaspoon Sesame seeds to garnish
Scallions chopped, to garnish

Method

- Press tofu for 15-30 minutes to remove any extra water. Dab with a paper towel or use a tofu press to remove extra moisture.

- Cut the pressed tofu into ¾ inch cubes, and transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

- Then add the cornstarch. Mix gently so the tofu is evenly coated with the cornstarch.

- In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients. Stir and set aside.

- Heat a large skillet over medium-high flame. Once hot, add 2 tablespoon oil. Add the tofu cubes and let them cook until golden on the bottom.

- Turn the cubes to an uncooked side, and cook until golden again.

- Continue this process until golden crispy on all sides, then remove the crispy tofu to a plate lined with paper towel.

- Air fryer option: if you prefer, you can also air fry the tofu for 10-12 minutes at 350°F.

- To the same skillet, add the remaining ½ tablespoon oil. Add the ginger, garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until the color starts to change.

- Then add the broccoli. Cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring frequently until the broccoli is cooked al dente.

- Stir the sauces mixed in the bowl. Then add to the skillet. Add the tofu. Toss them all together and cook for 1-2 minutes. Turn off flame.

- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with jasmine rice.
