Description
In less time than it takes to order and bring home take-out, you can pan-fry tofu until crisp, simmer broccoli florets, and bring them together with a lightly sweet soy and sesame sauce (which is generous enough to spoon over rice). Whether you're cooking vegetarian or gluten-free, or you just want a healthy choice, this one's a keeper for weeknight dinners. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Sara Mellas.

Directions
- Drain any water from package of tofu. Wrap the block of tofu in 3-4 layers of paper towels, tucking in the sides so the block is fully wrapped. Set on a work surface, place a heavy-bottomed pan on top of the block, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. (Pro Tip: Pressing water from the tofu helps it keep its shape and get extra crisp during cooking.)
- Make the sauce: Mince garlic and finely grate ginger. Whisk together water and cornstarch in a medium mixing bowl until cornstarch is fully dissolved. Add tamari, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper (if using). Set sauce aside. Thinly slice scallions and set aside.
- Unwrap tofu and discard paper towels. Cut tofu into rectangles approximately 1 inch long, 3/4 inch wide, and 1/2 inch thick. Put tofu in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Toss with a flexible spatula to coat.

This tasted much better than I expected it to. I had doubts about the broccoli not having seasoning and only being steamed but when I combined It with the sauce at the end it was amazing!

LOVE how the tofu turned out. used broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. served it with egg fried rice. didn't use ginger.

Really good. added kale, mushrooms, onion to broccoli, only had corn meal but that worked okay for the tofu. Really liked the sauce! We didn’t mix it all together- just served out of the pots on the stove We had Brown rice, too.

Better not replace the tamari with regular light soy sauce. Turned out very salty. I'd also not dump the tofu into the sauce as it loses its crunch.

Really good and easy recipe. Next time I'd add more oil to sauté the tofu so it gets more crispy, but other than that it was great as it. Wouldn’t mind adding some more veggies next time, like bell pepper and snap peas.

A little salty for me but it was delicious, used stevia instead of brown sugar and ground pepper instrad of chilli; liked the soft taste of sesame. I also added rice in the end.
It was delicious overall and easy, would make it again.

It was great! I personally will add more cornstarch to my sauce next time because I like it a bit thicker, but fantastic flavor!

Wonderful recipe. I tried tofu once before and it was not to my liking, although it was not prepared well. Chewy, hard like brick tiles. This recipe showed me the basics and was easy to follow and delicious. I will make it again. Look forward to trying other tofu recipes

This is a great recipe, made it 3 times now and know it by heart already. My son, who said he doesn’t like tofu devoured this and asked for more!
Arlette Harutunian 5 months ago
delicious. I'm very pleased with the end results and will make it again.

The sauce was yummy. You can adjust sweet/hot/garlic to your taste. My only challenge was my tofu didn't stay crisp...any pointers appreciated. (I followed the recipe's instructions prepping it)

Good flavors and very easy to make. Too sweet for our taste. I made it again adjusting the amount of sugar, and we loved it. Definitely will make it again.

Excellent. Stuck to script and turned out well chose to serve on brown rice. A keeper
britt 9 months ago
family loved it. will definitely go a little lighter with the toasted sesame oil though next time. and fry the tofu on high heat to get more of a more crisp; higher heat then you would with a meat (fisrt time cooking tofu for me, so lesson learned)

I didn't have sesame oil, and didn't substitute anything for it, and this still came out so good! I did substitute the tamari for a slightly smaller amount of liquid aminos, because that's what I had on hand, and yeah, I will be making this again! I have sesame oil now, so imagine it'll probably be a bit better next time.
