Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for thickening)
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tofu by draining and pressing it to remove excess moisture. Cut into bite-sized cubes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, honey or maple syrup, and rice vinegar. Marinate the tofu in this mixture for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated tofu in a single layer and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  4. Add broccoli florets and remaining marinade to the skillet. Stir-fry until the broccoli is tender yet bright green (approximately 4-5 minutes).
  5. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth and add to the skillet. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens (about 1 minute).
  6. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve hot alongside steamed rice or quinoa.
