Instructions
- 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vegetable broth, and honey. Set this mixture aside for later use.

After the tofu has been drained, cut it in half and then into cubes measuring 1/2 inch. Transfer the cubes into a large bowl and season with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.

Dust the tofu with cornstarch and gently toss using your hands to ensure each piece is evenly coated.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Introduce the tofu to the skillet and allow it to crisp up undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes, then repeat this process until all sides are golden brown.

Once crispy, remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.

In the same skillet, over medium heat, pour in sesame oil and add the red peppers and broccolini. Sauté until they start to soften, approximately 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant.

Return the tofu to the skillet along with the prepared sauce, tossing everything together and cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the tofu is warmed through.
