Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Put the tofu on a cutting board and cut it in half and then cut each half into 4 equal pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Put 2 layers of paper towel on a cutting board and put the tofu on top. Let drain at least 20 minutes (and up to 2 hours).

  3. Step 3

    Place a skillet over medium heat and when hot, add 2 teaspoons oil. Add the tofu, one piece at a time, and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the tofu to a plate and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Reheat the skillet and when hot, add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add garlic and scallions and cook until just golden, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and water and raise the heat to high. Cook until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return the tofu to the pan and add the remaining ingredients. Stir well.

  6. Step 6

    Serve with a side of brown rice.
