Sesame-Coated Tofu With Spicy Broccoli

• 2 12 cups broccoli florets
• 14 cup tahini (sesame paste)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce, Yamasa's the best
• 13 cup water, approximately
• 1 cup sesame seeds
• 1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 12 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

1. Cover a cutting board with paper towels or towels.
2. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch-wide by 1/2-inch-thick long strips.
3. Place the tofu on the cutting board and lay a weight such as a heavy frying pan on top.
4. Drain for 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Steam the broccoli until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, then plunge into a bowl of ice water.
6. Drain and set aside.
7. In a small, shallow bowl, combine the tahini, 1 tablespoon of the tamari, and enough water to make a smooth sauce.
8. Place the sesame seeds on a plate.
9. Dredge the tofu strips in the tahini mixture, then coat with the sesame seeds.
10. Heat 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
11. Working with batches, add the tofu strips and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
12. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
13. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
14. Add the red pepper flakes and broccoli and stir-fry until hot, about 2 minutes.
15. Splash with the remaining 1 tablespoon tamari and spoon the broccoli over the tofu.
