Provided by Camille Bergerson

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

14 oz firm tofu
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil, divided
3 cups broccoli florets
3 tablespoons vegetable broth
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons agave syrup
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
¹¹⁄₂ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, plus more for serving
cooked white rice, for serving
sliced scallions, for serving

Steps:

  • Wrap the tofu in 2 layers of paper towels and place on a plate. Put another plate on top of the tofu to weigh it down and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until drained.
  • After microwaving, carefully unwrap the tofu and slice into ½-1 inch cubes. Pat each cube dry.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and cook on all sides until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per side, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add broccoli to the hot pan with the vegetable broth. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Steam for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and remaining ½ teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir until softened.
  • Add the soy sauce, agave, rice vinegar, and cornstarch slurry. Stir until thickened to your desired consistency. Add the sesame seeds and stir to incorporate.
  • Return the tofu to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
  • Serve over white rice and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
  • Enjoy!

  • Place a few folded paper towels or a clean, lint-free dish cloth on a large plate. Remove the tofu from the package and place it on the towels. Place more towels on top, cover with a second plate, and then weigh the top plate down with a few canned goods or a pot filled with water. Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to extract excess water (refrigerate if pressing for longer).
  • While the tofu is pressing, prepare the sauce so that the flavors have time to blend. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, water, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame seeds, and cornstarch. Stir until the brown sugar and cornstarch are dissolved, then set the sauce aside.
  • Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes, then season with a pinch of salt. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp cornstarch over the cubes, then toss to coat. Repeat with the second tablespoon of cornstarch, or until the tofu cubes have a nice even coating of cornstarch.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium flame. Once hot, add 2 Tbsp oil and tilt the skillet until the bottom is coated in a thick layer of oil. Add the dusted tofu cubes and let cook until golden brown on the bottom. Use a spatula to turn the cubes to an uncooked side, and cook until golden brown again. Continue this process until brown and crispy on all sides, then remove the crispy tofu to a clean plate.
