Press the tofu: Wrap the block of tofu in a few layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Place it on a plate and put a heavy object (like a cookbook or a cast-iron pan) on top for at least 15-20 minutes to remove excess water. This will help the tofu crisp up when cooked.

While the tofu is pressing, prepare the broccoli: Wash the broccoli and cut it into small, bite-sized florets. Peel and finely mince the fresh ginger.

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and half of the minced ginger. Set aside.

Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the tofu cubes to the hot pan in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy. Season lightly with salt during cooking.

Remove the crispy tofu from the pan and set it aside. Add the broccoli florets and the remaining minced ginger to the same pan. If the pan seems dry, add a tiny splash of water (about 1-2 tablespoons) and cover with a lid. Steam the broccoli for 3-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

Uncover the pan, add the cooked tofu back in. Pour the ginger-soy sauce over the tofu and broccoli. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and warm through.
