Step 1
Press the 14 oz firm tofu for 10 minutes, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add tofu cubes in a single layer; cook until golden on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 sliced red chili; stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 sliced zucchini. Stir-fry over high heat until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Return tofu to the skillet. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce and toss everything to coat; cook 1 minute until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6
Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and serve hot.
