You can watch the short video for visual instructions.First, press the tofu for 15-20 minutes with a tofu press or wrapped in a clean kitchen towel beneath a heavy skillet and/or several heavy books. Meanwhile, divide the broccoli into bite-size florets, slice the pepper, and mince the garlic and ginger.
Then, cut the tofu into ¾-inch (2 cm) cubes and toss in a Ziplock with the starch, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss until thoroughly coated.
Next, combine all the sauce ingredients in a jar, shake or whisk well, and set aside.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or wok with the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu in a single layer and pan-fry it for 6-8 minutes, flipping every 1-2 minutes to brown every side. Then, set aside on a plate.
Add another drizzle of oil to the pan along with the broccoli and bell pepper, and stir-fry for several minutes, until tender-crisp.
Then, add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for a minute before pouring the sauce into the pan and simmering until thickened.
Finally, remove it from the heat and add the tofu, tossing well to coat. Enjoy!
