Spicy Tofu and Broccoli

Spicy Tofu and Broccoli is a vibrant and flavorful dish that combines crispy tofu with tender broccoli in a zesty sauce. Perfectly balanced with spices, this dish is both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Broccoli florets - 200 grams
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Sriracha sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, minced - 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Green onions, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture for about 15 minutes, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the sauce.
3. Toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch until evenly coated.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add sesame oil and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
6. Return the crispy tofu to the skillet, pour in the sauce, and stir to combine everything. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
