Tofu and Broccoli

Tofu and Broccoli
Linda Xiao for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Sue Li.

Recipe by Sue Li | Total time: 40 minutes

Salty with soy sauce and spiced with fresh ginger, this tofu and broccoli dish captures the comforting flavors of your favorite takeout, but can be made fresh, with minimal effort, at home. It comes together in no time and is incredibly satisfying. Tofu lightly tossed in cornstarch and then crisped up absorbs the simple soy-and-sugar glaze to create the most satisfying texture. And the lightly charred broccoli only deepens the flavor. Serve it over a bed of steamed rice for an inexpensive dinner that is as quick as it is delicious.
