Tofu Broccoli Stir Fry with Garlic Ginger Sauce

block (450 grams) extra firm tofu, pressed and drained

garlic powder

dry thyme

salt

tsp neutral oil

broccoli florets,

hoisin sauce

soy sauce

tbsp sesame oil

maple syrup

tbsp rice wine vinegar or lime juice

ginger,

tbsp sesame seeds, optional

water broth

Prep your ingredients before you start. Cube your tofu as desired and set to the side. 

In an airtight container add in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, garlic powder, dry thyme, salt and pepper and mix well. Add in your tofu, seal your container and give a gentle toss to completely coat your tofu. 

Grab a small bowl and combine all of your stir fry sauce ingredients including the remaining 1 teaspoon of corn starch and whisk really well to make sure there are no cornstarch chunks. 

Heat up a large skillet over medium high heat and then add your oil allowing a minute to warm through. Add in your tofu pieces making sure they fit in one even layer, then allow to cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes or until your tofu has become golden, then flip and cook on the opposite side for an additional 3 minutes or until the tofu has seared. 

To the pan, add in your broccoli and stir frequently to help cook the broccoli evenly. You should see that your broccoli has started to become bright green in color and the stalks should start to lighten in color as well. 

Pour in your stir fry sauce and start to stir it into your tofu and vegetables making sure that everything gets evenly coated and your sauce is thickening. Once thickened to your liking, about 1-2 minutes, remove from the heat and serve immediately.

Hoisin sauce is also NOT gluten free, so it's not just the soy sauce that you need to substitute to make it GF.  Kikkoman's has a good GF soy sauce AND a good GF hoisin sauce that you can get on Amazon. 
I have some non vegan eaters in my house, too, so I sauteed some chicken on the side and just doubled the sauce to put in with that.  Both proteins were great (so they said).  I also added some red bell pepper strips to the broccoli to get in some more veggies.  Yummy recipe!

This had amazing flavor. Yum, yummy, yum!

This was great! It was my first time making tofu and turned out better than expected.
