Sizzling cubes of golden tofu in a sticky honey garlic glaze paired with tender-crisp broccoli for a wholesome and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block of firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu: Wrap your block of tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it press for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Cut and season the tofu: Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Cook the tofu: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the coated tofu cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
  5. Cook the broccoli: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the broccoli florets, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Combine and glaze: Reduce the heat to low and return the crispy tofu to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the honey garlic sauce over everything and gently toss until the tofu and broccoli are evenly coated.
  7. Serve: Plate up your crispy honey garlic tofu with broccoli and enjoy while it’s hot!

Notes

[‘Pressing the tofu is crucial for achieving crispiness.’, ‘Ensure each piece of tofu is fully coated in cornstarch for maximum crunch.’, ‘Use medium heat to cook tofu to avoid burning.’, ‘Keep broccoli tender-crisp for best texture and color.’, ‘Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if it thickens too much.’, ‘Double the sauce if serving over rice or noodles.’]
