1
Prepare the ingredients. Wash the broccoli, separate florets into small pieces, and peel and thinly slice the broccoli stems.
2
Prepare the tofu. Cut into cubes and air-fry at 375°F for 12–15 minutes until crispy, or deep-fry alternatively, or use fresh tofu sautéed before adding carrots.
3
Prepare remaining ingredients. Slice carrots, peel and slice ginger, chop onion, and crush then chop garlic.
4
Heat oil in the pan, add garlic and stir until it begins to brown, immediately add onion, then add ginger. Continue stirring to combine the three aromatics.
5
Add carrots and stir-fry first to soften them and release sweetness for about 1 minute, then add the broccoli stems and toss to combine.
6
Add the broccoli florets and continue stir-frying for 1.5 to 2 minutes until vegetables are partially cooked.
7
Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce, and mix well.
8
Add the pre-cooked tofu cubes and gently toss to combine without breaking them up.
9
Add a little water if you prefer a saucier consistency. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
10
Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir immediately to prevent lumping and to thicken the sauce.
11
Turn heat down to low. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt, additional oyster sauce if desired, and black pepper.
12
Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy with rice.
