Method

1. Slice the firm tofu into 1cm thick rectangles (cutlets) and pat them dry with a towel.
2. Cut the broccoli into small florets, keeping the stems thin so they cook quickly.
3. Whisk the soy sauce and agave syrup together in a small bowl to make the glaze.
4. Heat half the sesame oil in a pan and sear the tofu cutlets for 4 minutes per side until deeply golden.
5. Remove the tofu from the pan, add the remaining oil, the minced garlic, and the broccoli with a splash of water.
6. Cover and steam-cook the broccoli for 5 minutes, then uncover and add the sesame seeds, tossing until toasted.
7. Return the tofu to the pan, pour the soy-agave glaze over everything, and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the tofu.
8. Serve the cutlets topped with the glazed broccoli.

Tips

• Using agave syrup helps the soy sauce stick to the tofu, creating a beautiful restaurant-style glaze.
• To save time, you can steam the broccoli in the microwave for 3 minutes before adding them to the pan.
