      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!

      The crunchiness of nuts or sesame seeds are awesome

    Delicious!!! I make this at least once a week but don’t add the starch slurry, I’ll have to give that a try.
