1 Prepare the Ingredients
Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop peanuts.Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.Drain tofu. Line a plate with a paper towel. Cut tofu into 1/2" dice and place on towel-lined plate. Top with paper towels, then press gently but firmly to remove excess moisture.In a mixing bowl, combine tofu, Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (use less if spice-averse), a pinch of salt, and cornstarch. -

Line another plate with a paper towel.
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add tofu to hot pan and stir occasionally until golden-brown, 6-8 minutes.Don't rush cooking the tofu; it will need the complete cooking time for the correct crispness.Remove from burner. Transfer tofu to towel-lined plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve. -
3 Cook the Vegetables
Return pan used to cook tofu to medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add broccoli, carrots, white portions of green onions, and garlic salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until broccoli begins to brown and is slightly tender, 4-6 minutes.
While vegetables cook, continue recipe. -
