Tofu and sesame stir-fry
The first main here that is neither meat nor cheese, and pressing the tofu is the whole difference — unpressed it steams in its own water and never browns.

- Press the tofu: wrap the block in paper towels, sit a plate and a can on top, and leave it 15 minutes. Everything else here depends on this.
- Cut it into 3/4 inch cubes and dry them again on the outside.
- Get the pan properly hot before the oil goes in. Tofu added to a warm pan sticks and tears when you try to turn it.
- Fry the cubes in one layer for 3 minutes without touching them, then turn and repeat until three or four faces are golden. Roughly 8 minutes.
- Lift them out, add the broccoli and ginger to the pan with a splash of water, and cover for 3 minutes.
- Return the tofu, add the soy sauce and chili, and toss for 30 seconds — the soy should sizzle and glaze rather than pool.
- Scatter the sesame seeds off the heat.
