Steps

You’ll need: large nonstick skillet or wok, medium saucepan with lid, clean kitchen towel.

1. Rinse the rice, then simmer it covered in 2 1/4 cups water for 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes.
2. Toss the pressed tofu with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the tofu on all sides, 8 minutes. Move to a plate.
3. Add the rest of the oil, the broccoli, pepper and 2 tablespoons water. Cover and cook 3 minutes, then uncover and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds.
4. Whisk the sauce ingredients, pour in and stir until thick, about 1 minute. Return the tofu, toss and serve over rice.
