Steps:
- Whisk the coconut milk, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, ginger, brown sugar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Firmly press the tofu dry with paper towels, cut into eight 1/2-inch-thick slabs, then firmly press dry again. Arrange in a small baking dish and pour half of the coconut milk mixture over the top; turn to coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, whisk the peanut butter and vinegar into the remaining coconut milk mixture until smooth; season with salt and pepper and set aside for serving.
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Oil the grates. Trim the broccoli and peel the stalks; slice into thin spears. Toss with the vegetable oil; season with salt.
- Grill the broccoli, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the tofu from the marinade and pat dry; season with salt. Grill the tofu, lightly brushing occasionally with the marinade, until well marked, about 2 minutes per side. Serve the tofu and broccoli with the peanut sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

BROCCOLI AND TOFU WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
This is a really yummy vegetarian dinner option. Even my non-vegetarian husband said it was great. Don't neglect to freeze/thaw/press the tofu as this will give the tofu a better, chewier texture. For additional flavor you can marinate the tofu in a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil.

Tips:
- For a crispier tofu: Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture. You can do this by wrapping it in a few layers of paper towels and placing it on a plate with something heavy on top, like a can of beans or a heavy skillet.
- To make the peanut sauce smoother: Use a high-powered blender or food processor to blend the sauce until it is completely smooth. You can also strain it through a fine-mesh sieve if you want a perfectly smooth sauce.
- For a spicier peanut sauce: Add more Sriracha sauce or red pepper flakes to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
- To make the dish more flavorful: Use a variety of vegetables in the stir-fry, such as broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, at the end of cooking.
- To make the dish more filling: Serve it over rice or noodles. You can also add some cooked tofu or chicken to the stir-fry for extra protein.
