    Prepare:

    • Cube the tofu (400g) and toss into an air fryer for about 10 minutes (alternatively, you can cover each cube individially in starch. I use the air fryer to dry the tofu pieces because it’s lazyer lol)
    • Chop broccoli (250g), 1 whole onion, 2 cloves of garlic, ginger (about the same amount of garlic) and whatever else you wanna add (bell pepper, hot peppers are great additions)
    • Mix about 2 Tbsp starch with about 3/4 cup of water

    Cook:

    • Heat your wok, add oil
    • Add the tofu, stir-fry for about 1 minute
    • Add the broccoli, ginger and garlic, stir-fry for about 1 minute
    • Add the onions, optional peppers, stir-fry for about 1 minute
    • Splash everything with soy sauce (maybe about 3-5Tbsp, enough to salt the ingredients) while stir-frying
    • Add your starch slurry and mix slowly, adding more slurry if too thin, more water if too thick
    • Turn burner off, add MSG

    Plating:

    • Mix toasted nuts (or sesame seeds) to the portion you’re gonna plate right before serving (nobody wants soggy nuts), garnish with spring onions
    • It drives me crazy when people ask for recipes without participating or even saying thank you!

      thanks for posting, looks incredible!

      every time I tell people about the rules I get downvotes I can’t see lol

      Do something WHILE something else is going on

      That’s usually the part where i turn into Mr. Bean and things go flying.

        Things already go flying when I stir-fry, so it’s just part of the method!
