Main Ingredients:

  • 1 block extra-firm tofu

  • 1 inch fresh ginger minced

Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Remove tofu from pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  • Pour sauce over broccoli and stir-fry for 1 minute.
  • Return crispy tofu to the pan, gently stir to combine, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce overall salt content
Press tofu for at least 15 minutes before cooking for maximum crispiness
Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for extra flavor and texture
Substitute tamari for soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
Can be served over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a more filling meal
Make ahead tip: prep all ingredients in advance and store separately until ready to cook
