Garlic Broccoli Tofu Stir-Fry

Steps

How to make it

Prep 9 min · Cook 10 min

1. Cut broccoli 160 g into small florets; cube tofu 1 block about 2 cm and pat dry; mince 2 garlic cloves. Mix 1 tsp soy sauce and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; pan-fry tofu in a single layer until lightly golden on both sides (about 1 minute per side); set aside.
3. Add 1 tsp olive oil to the same pan; sauté garlic 20 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add broccoli over high heat and stir-fry 2 minutes until deep green; stems should stay slightly crisp.
5. Return tofu and gently toss 1 minute; drizzle with soy sauce and salt.
6. Serve when tofu is evenly coated and broccoli is tender but still crisp.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

• Blanch broccoli 30 seconds first for more predictable doneness.
• Drain vegetables well before cooking; excess water steams them and softens the texture.

Refrigerate up to 1 day; reheat over medium-high in a skillet.
