How to Make Tofu And Broccoli Stir Fry Martha Stewart

  1. **Press the Tofu:** Wrap the block of extra-firm tofu in several layers of paper towels. Place it between two baking sheets and weigh it down with heavy cans (about 20 minutes).
  2. **Prep the Broccoli:** While the tofu presses, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes, until bright green. Drain immediately and set aside.
  3. **Toast the Cashews:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread cashews on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  4. **Cook the Tofu:** Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pressed tofu and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. **Make the Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, cornstarch, water, and optional sugar.
  6. **Stir-fry the Broccoli:** Add the cooked broccoli to the skillet with the tofu. Cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until crisp-tender.
  7. **Combine and Serve:** Pour the sauce into the skillet. Return the tofu to the pan, stirring to coat everything evenly for about 1 minute. Serve immediately over brown rice or noodles. Garnish with toasted cashews.
