1. 1Step 1: Pat the tofu dry with a paper towel and gently squeeze out as much liquid as possible. If you have a tofu press, use that. Cut it into small even cubes.
2. 2Step 2: Cook broccoli in a steamer basket for 8-10 minutes, or in boiling water for 2-4 minutes, until parboiled, bright green but not fully cooked or mushy. Another option is to microwave it for 2-3 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
3. 3Step 3: Heat a large skillet or wok. Once hot, add a little oil and the cubed tofu. Sauté for 5 minutes over medium heat, shaking or flipping occasionally to cook on all sides, until the tofu has a slight crust on each side and has begun to brown. Remove from the skillet.
4. 4Step 4: Add a little more oil to the skillet if needed, and add the minced garlic, stirring constantly until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and keep stirring until they are tender. Add the pre-cooked broccoli.
5. 5Step 5: Whisk vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, and chili sauce in a small container and pour it into the skillet. Add the tofu, give it a few stirs, coating everything in the sauce. Carefully taste, and season with chili sauce, salt, or more soy sauce if needed. Serve immediately on its own, or over rice or noodles. Garnish with crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, or fresh cilantro.
