My go-to trick is having all the ingredients prepped and ready to go. Once you start cooking, the process moves swiftly, so having everything organized in advance will make your experience a breeze.
To make the Tofu Broccoli Stir Fry with Garlic Ginger Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
In an airtight container, combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and mix well.
Add the tofu cubes, seal the container, and gently toss it to completely coat the tofu.
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar or lime juice, 3–4 finely minced garlic cloves, finely minced fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, if using, ¼ cup water or vegetable broth, and the remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch and whisk well until there are no cornstarch lumps.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 teaspoons oil. Add in the tofu cubes and make sure they fit in one even layer. Cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes or until the tofu turns golden. Then, flip the tofu and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes or until it is seared.
Add in 1-2 cups broccoli florets and cook, stirring frequently, until the broccoli becomes bright green and the stalks start to lighten in color.
Pour in the stir-fry sauce and cook, stirring until everything is evenly coated and the sauce thickens. Once it has thickened to your liking, about 1-2 minutes, remove it from the heat.
Serve right away.
