Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Broccoli florets - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cornstarch - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable broth - 100 ml
• Red chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture for about 10 minutes, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
2. In a mixing bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and just tender.
6. Return the tofu to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour in the soy sauce, vegetable broth, and sprinkle with red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
8. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds.
