Description

A delicious and nutritious dish that combines crispy tofu with vibrant broccoli, all coated in a savory sesame sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the tofu into cubes and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the seasoned tofu and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until tender yet still bright green.
  6. Return the fried tofu to the pan, drizzle with soy sauce, and toss everything to combine well.
  7. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve warm over rice or noodles.

Notes

Serve hot, ideally over rice or quinoa. Pairs well with extra soy sauce or green onions.
