Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 14 oz tofu into 1/2 inch thick slabs and arrange in a single layer on a heatproof plate. Set up a steamer and bring water to a boil.

  2. Step 2

    Steam the tofu over medium-high heat until heated through, about 10 minutes. The tofu should be hot and slightly translucent at the edges.

  3. Step 3

    While the tofu steams, thinly slice the 2 scallions and julienne the 0.5 carrot. Cut the 1 cup broccoli florets into small pieces.

  4. Step 4

    In a small skillet, heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the scallions, carrot, and broccoli and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Carefully remove the tofu plate from the steamer. Drizzle the 2 tbsp soy sauce evenly over the tofu.

  6. Step 6

    Spoon the hot vegetable-oil mixture over the tofu, including all the oil. Serve immediately while warm.
