In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the tofu cubes and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and water to make a sauce.
Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the pan and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked tofu back into the pan and toss gently to coat it with the sauce.
Serve the Thai tofu stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
