Ingredients
  

14 oz (400g) firm tofu, drained and pressed

2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 teaspoons sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a medium bowl, mix the cornstarch with a pinch of salt and lightly coat the tofu cubes with the mixture.

    Cook the Tofu: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated tofu cubes in a single layer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy. Once cooked, remove the tofu and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

      Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

        Combine with Sauce: Return the tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce, then pour it over the tofu and veggies. Toss gently to coat everything evenly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

          Finishing Touches: Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and toss everything together for added flavor.

            Serve: Spoon the teriyaki tofu and broccoli stir-fry over beds of cooked jasmine rice or quinoa. Garnish with extra sesame seeds if desired.
