Delicious over brown rice or Asian noodles.

Serves: 4.
Prep time: 25 minutes.
Total time: 45 minutes.

1 package (14.5 ounces) firm tofu, drained, cut crosswise into 6 slabs (about 3/4 inches wide), each slab halved horizontally and cut into triangles
1 1/2 pounds broccoli, stalks trimmed, peeled, and cut into 3/4 inch rounds, florets seperated into bite-size pieces
coarse salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch


1. Arrange tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels. Top with more paper towels and another baking sheet; weight with canned goods. Let tofu drain, about 20 minutes.

2. Meawhile, cook broccoli (stalks and florets) in a large pot of boiling salted water until bright green, 2 minutes. Drain, set aside.

3. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add tofu, cook until golden brown, turning gently halfway through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to paper towels.

4. Meanwhile, make sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, red-pepper flakes, garlic, cornstarch, and 3/4 cup water; set aside. (For a variation more like sweet-and-sour, add 1 tablespoon of sugar during this step.)

5. Add broccoli to skillet; cook over high heat, stirring often, until crisp-tender 2-3 minutes. Whisk reserved sauce to combine; pour into pan. Return tofu to pan; stir to coat, about 1 minute more.
