+## Ingredients
+
+- One block of firm tofu (400g, extra firm will work too)
+- 1 head (300 grams stemless) of Broccoli
+- 2-4 cloves of garlic, diced
+- 1/2 cup light soy sause 
+- 1 cup dark soy sause
+- 2 tablespoons sugar
+- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (or any non-balsamic vinegar)
+- 1/4 cup vegetable stock (or water)
+- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry cherry (optional)
+- 1 tablespoon hoisin sause
+- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
+- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
+- 2.5 tablespoon peanut oil (any oil will do)
+- water
+- 50-100g ginger, diced (optional)
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Cut the tofu into 3/4” (2 cm) cubes and place it in a sealable ziplock bag.
+2. Combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce, sugar and rice vinegar ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix. 
+3. A food prep rectangular tupperware could work very well, as you need less marinade to submerge the tofu. Add tofu and refrigirate for half an hour.
+4. Combine vegetable stock, remaining soy sause, wine, sesame oil, cornstarch and hoisin sause into a bowl and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved.
+5. Cut the florets off the stalks of broccoli. Cut into 1cm chunks. Wash and drain if needed. 
+6. Heat 1/3 cup of water in a large pan over medium/high heat until boiling. Add broccoli and cover with a lid. Steam for 2-3 minutes depending on how hard you want it, then drain and rinse the remaining water off. Put the broccoli aside.
+7. Add 2 tbsp of oil on the same pan. Cook tofu until the bottom is golden brown, flip and repeat. Stir a few times, then move to the side of the pan.
+8. Add more oil, garlic, ginger. Stir until it releases fragrance - generally less than a minute, then stir to combine the two.
+9. Cook together until sause thickens, then add broccoli and stir to combine.
