Instructions

1

Prepare the Tofu: Press the firm tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Pat them very dry with paper towels – this is crucial for crispiness.

2

Crisp the Tofu: Heat 1 tbsp of neutral oil in a large, non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary). Pan-fry, turning occasionally, until all sides are deeply golden brown and crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Remove tofu to a plate lined with paper towels.

3

Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together minced ginger, thinly sliced scallions (reserve some for garnish), soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.

4

Prepare the Vegetables and Walnuts: If your broccoli is not already cooked, steam or blanch it until tender-crisp. Chop the walnuts roughly.

5

Assemble the Stir-Fry: Add the remaining 1 tbsp of neutral oil to the same skillet used for the tofu, still over medium-high heat. Add the cooked broccoli and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until heated through and slightly charred in spots. Add the crisped tofu back to the pan along with the chopped walnuts. Pour the ginger-scallion sauce over everything and toss gently to coat. Cook for another minute until the sauce is slightly thickened and coats the ingredients.

6

Serve: Divide the cooked Japanese rice among serving bowls. Top generously with the tofu and broccoli stir-fry. Garnish with the reserved fresh scallions. Serve immediately.
