Combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce, sugar and rice vinegar ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix. +3. A food prep rectangular tupperware could work very well, as you need less marinade to submerge the tofu. Add tofu and refrigirate for half an hour. +4. Combine vegetable stock, remaining soy sause, wine, sesame oil, cornstarch and hoisin sause into a bowl and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved. +5. Cut the florets off the stalks of broccoli. Cut into 1cm chunks. Wash and drain if needed. +6. Heat 1/3 cup of water in a large pan over medium/high heat until boiling. Add broccoli and cover with a lid. Steam for 2-3 minutes depending on how hard you want it, then drain and rinse the remaining water off. Put the broccoli aside. +7. Add 2 tbsp of oil on the same pan. Cook tofu until the bottom is golden brown, flip and repeat. Stir a few times, then move to the side of the pan. +8. Add more oil, garlic, ginger. Stir until it releases fragrance - generally less than a minute, then stir to combine the two. +9. Cook together until sause thickens, then add broccoli and stir to combine. \ No newline at end of file
