Como fazer Better Than Takeout Sesame Tofu

Press 14 oz extra-firm tofu: Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place in a 9x13 baking pan lined with a tea towel; top with another towel and a second baking pan. Weight down (with books or cans) and press for 20-30 minutes.
Cube the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 2 large eggs in a shallow dish. Add tofu cubes and toss to coat, ensuring each cube is fully coated and dry.
In a small saucepan, whisk together: 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1 tablespoon chili garlic paste (or to taste), and 2 cloves minced garlic.
Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
While the sauce simmers, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add tofu cubes to the hot oil in a single layer, ensuring they don't overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked tofu to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Wipe out the skillet and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add 1 large head of broccoli florets and saute for 2-4 minutes, until bright green and tender.
Return the tofu to the skillet. Pour the sesame sauce over the tofu and broccoli. Stir to coat everything evenly.
Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
