Ingredients

FOR THE SAUCE

FOR THE TOFU

  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil I used avocado oil
  • 1 16-ounce block super firm tofu cubed, see notes
  • 1 head broccolini or broccoli, cut in 2" pieces
  • 1 serrano pepper sliced, optional
  • sesame seeds, green onion, rice optional for serving

Instructions

  • Add all of the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside. Combine the corn starch with 1 tablespoon of water and mix until combined. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and spread in an even layer. Cook until browned on 2 sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the broccolini to the skillet and brown for 2 minutes. Pour in the sauce & serrano pepper and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the corn starch slurry & tofu to the skillet and toss until the sauce is thickened and sticks to the tofu & broccolini.
  • Serve hot, over rice with sesame seeds & green onion sprinkled on top.

Notes

  • If you use super firm tofu, you won't need to press the tofu since it is so dense. If you use firm or extra firm, be sure to drain and press the tofu before cubing.
  • The serrano pepper can be omitted if you are sensitive to heat.
