Ingredients

  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp canola vegetable or light olive oil
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 tsp minced or pressed garlic
  • ¼ cup soy sauce divided
  • 1 head of broccoli cut into florets
  • squeeze of lime juice
  • sesame seeds optional

Instructions

  • Press the tofu. Cut in half lengthwise, then dice the two halves into 1″ by 1″ cubes.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, grate the ginger and mince the garlic. Lightly saute the garlic and ginger for a minute, but be careful not to let it burn by keeping it moving. Add the tofu, then half of the soy sauce. Stir to coat the tofu with the pan liquid.
  • Put a large lid over the tofu and let cook for ten minutes. Stir every few minutes to keep the tofu from sticking.
  • After ten minutes, add the rest of the soy sauce and the broccoli. Stir to coat. Replace lid and cook for an additional seven minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Squeeze a half of a lime onto the stir fry. Garnish with sesame seeds if you so desire.
