Method

Instructions

1
Prepare the Tofu
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.
2
Marinate the Tofu
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the tofu cubes and toss gently to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Cook the Tofu
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add peanut oil. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the sliced squash and shiitake mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred. Add the Chinese broccoli and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
5
Combine and Serve
Return the crispy tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss gently to combine. Serve hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
