Quick Tofu and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• firm tofu — 300 g, cut into 2 cm cubes, pressed 5 minutes with paper towels
• broccoli — 300 g (1 small head), cut into small florets
• garlic — 3 cloves, minced
• light soy sauce — 1 tbsp
• oyster sauce (or vegetarian mushroom sauce) — 1 tbsp
• cornstarch — 1 tsp mixed with 2 tbsp water
• cooking oil — 1.5 tsp
• sesame oil — 1/4 tsp

Steps (beginner-friendly)

1. Press the tofu between paper towels under a weight for 5 minutes to remove water — this prevents splattering and helps it brown.
2. Blanch broccoli in boiling water for 90 seconds until bright green and just fork-tender, then drain well.
