4 servings

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!
