Garlic Ginger Broccoli And Tofu

Instructions

1. Start by preparing the tofu. Place the tofu cubes on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture. You can also use a tofu press for about 15-30 minutes for firmer tofu. This step will help the tofu crisp up better when cooked.

2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once done, remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

3. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.

5. Return the tofu to the skillet with the broccoli. Drizzle the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil over the tofu and broccoli. Toss everything together gently to coat the tofu and broccoli evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

7. Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Garlic Ginger Broccoli and Tofu over a bed of steamed rice.
