Ingredients
 

  • 14 oz Firm tofu block
  • 8 oz Broccoli
  • 2 Shallots
  • 3 Garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoon Oil
  • 3 tablespoon Corn flour

For the sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Mirin
  • 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Oyster Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 1 tablespoon Brown or white sugar

Instructions
 

  • Drain the tofu from the water and press it with a clean kitchen towel to remove all the excess water. Leave it aside for 15 minutes.
  • Prep the vegetables in the meantime. Finely chop the garlic, thinly slice the shallots and slice the broccoli head into bite size.
  • Prepare the sauce by mixing everything mentioned under the sauce ingredients in a glass.
  • Slice the tofu into bite size cubes and add 2 tablespoon corn flour to it. Toss it around to coat the corn flour.
  • Place a heavy bottom skillet on medium heat and pour the oil. Once the oil heats up, layer the tofu bites and let it fry for 2 minutes before you toss it around and let it fry for 2 more minutes.
  • Then add the shallots and let it cook for a minute.
  • Add the garlic and broccoli and toss it around. Sprinkle a little salt, cover the pan and let the broccoli cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add the prepared sauce and toss it around. Let the sauce sizzle for 2 minutes.
  • In the meantime, mix 1 tablespoon corn flour with 1 cup water and pour to the skillet. It will start to bubble and thicken the sauce.
  • Enjoy the warm tofu broccoli stir-fry with rice or noodles.

Notes

If you want the dish to have more sauce, then definitely a bit more water. But in general, this dish often served with just enough sticky sauce to enjoy with rice or noodles.
