Ingredients

¼ cup reduced‑sodium soy sauce (or gluten‑free tamari)

¼ cup reduced‑sodium vegetable broth

1 tablespoon honey (or brown sugar for vegan)

16 oz super‑firm tofu, pressed and cubed

1 tablespoon soy sauce (for tofu seasoning)

2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot

1 tablespoon neutral oil (grapeseed or canola)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 red bell pepper, diced (½‑inch pieces)

1 small bunch broccolini, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon grated ginger

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, broth, and honey in a bowl; set aside.
  2. Press tofu, then cube and toss with soy sauce and cornstarch.
  3. Heat neutral oil in a nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high. Cook tofu cubes undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side until crisp. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add sesame oil, bell pepper, and broccolini to skillet; sauté ~5 minutes until tender.
  5. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return tofu to skillet. Pour in sauce and stir to coat. Cook 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens.
  7. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap in other veggies like snap peas, mushrooms, or carrots.
  • For gluten‑free, use tamari and ensure broth is GF.
  • Honey can be replaced with maple syrup or brown sugar for vegan.
  • Add heat with sriracha or chili flakes, or serve over rice or noodles.
