"This is an awesome stir-fry! I find that I like to use broccoli the best stir-fry recipes but any veggies that you have hanging around in your fridge will work. Tofu tip: to get great tofu texture without deep-frying is to toss the tofu in cornstarch before stir-frying. Let it cook for several minutes without stirring to help it develop a crust."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine broth, rice wine (or sherry) soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, sugar and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
Slice the tofu into 3/4-inch cubes, then using a paper towel pat dry, then sprinkle with salt.
Step 3
Place the remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the tofu; toss gently to coat.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu; cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 3 minutes. Gently turn and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Add broccoli and water; cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until tender-crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir the reserved broth mixture and add to the pan. Cook until the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 7
Return the tofu to the pan; toss to combine with the broccoli and sauce.
Step 8
Season with pepper.
Step 9
Serve with noodles or cooked rice.
