Ingredients

• 400 g Firm tofu
• 300 g Broccoli
• 300 g Cauliflower
• 3 tbsp Sa Cha sauce (Chinese BBQ sauce)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Water
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
• 2 Scallions, sliced
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. Toss the tofu cubes with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to coat evenly.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and pan-fry for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, tossing frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the Sa Cha sauce, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth.

Step 7

Return the tofu to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the Sa Cha sauce mixture over everything and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and evenly coat the ingredients.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the sliced scallions over the dish as garnish.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
