Ingredients
Instructions
- Wrap the tofu in two layers of paper towels, then place it on a plate. Place another plate on top to press it down, and microwave for 2-3 minutes until the tofu is drained.
- Gently unwrap the tofu and cut it into cubes measuring between ½ and 1 inch. Pat each cube dry.
- Heat vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the tofu and cook on all sides until nicely golden, approximately 2-4 minutes per side. Remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same hot pan, add broccoli and vegetable broth. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low, allowing the broccoli to steam for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
- Add minced garlic, ginger, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of sesame oil to the pan. Cook until softened.
- Stir in soy sauce, agave, rice vinegar, and cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Mix in sesame seeds.
- Return the cooked tofu to the pan and toss it to coat it in the flavorful sauce.
- Serve the tofu and broccoli over white rice, and garnish with scallions and additional sesame seeds if desired.
- Relish your delicious creation!
