Ingredients

• 400 grams Extra-firm tofu
• 400 grams Broccoli
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess water by placing it between two plates and adding a weight on top. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then pat it dry and cut into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Rinse and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, water, and red chili flakes to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the tofu and broccoli. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
