Ingredients

  • 14 oz. extra-firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 cloves of garlic, grated (approx. ¾ tbsp)
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated (approx. 1 heaping tbsp)
  • ⅓ cup tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp brown sugar
  • Juice from ½ medium lime
  • 3 cups (218g) broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Press and drain the tofu. Cut into cubes and add to a large bowl. Sprinkle over cornstarch and carefully toss to coat the tofu. Spread out tofu cubes onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 mins, flip, then 8 minutes more. 

  2. While tofu is baking, prepare the sauce and broccoli. In a large skillet, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Bring to a low boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened (it will thicken more once it's tossed with the tofu). Pour into a bowl and set aside. 

  3. Add 1 tsp of oil (such as coconut) to the same skillet. Heat over medium-high then add broccoli. Saute broccoli for 3-4 minutes until tender and brown, stirring occasionally.

  4. Once the tofu is done baking, add to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and saturates the broccoli and tofu.

  5. Serve stir fry over jasmine rice. Optionally, add a drizzle of sesame oil to the rice for added flavor.
