INSTRUCTIONS
Bring large pot of salted water to a boil for broccoli. Whisk together ginger, garlic, tamari, sugar, and vinegar in medium bowl.
Combine tofu, cornstarch, just 2 tsp sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl and toss to coat. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add coated tofu and cook, tossing occasionally, until crispy and browned in places, 5 to 8 minutes.
Add scallion to skillet with tofu and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add sauce, and toss. Cook until sauce thickens, about 30 seconds.
Add broccoli to boiling water and cook until tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Make small tear at top of quinoa bag and microwave for 60 seconds. (TIP: You can also combine precooked quinoa and 1 tbsp water in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and steam until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.)
Divide warmed quinoa and cooked broccoli between large plates and top with General Tso’s tofu. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds. 好吃!
