                                          • Heat water to a rolling boil.
                                          • Break spaghetti noodles in half. Slowly add noodles to boiling water. Stir constantly until water returns to a boil. Cook about 8 minutes or until al dente. Stir occasionally. Do not overcook. Drain well.
                                          • Place tofu between two plates or between the bottom, flat surface of two pans. Apply slight pressure to squeeze out some of the liquid from the tofu. Cut tofu into ¹⁄2" cubes.
                                          • Make sauce: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger root, and red pepper flakes.
                                          • Place tofu in a large bowl. Pour sauce over tofu. Carefully turn tofu several times to coat well. Set aside.
                                          • Heat canola oil in nonstick skillet(s):
                                            For 25 servings, use 2 extra-large skillets.
                                            For 50 servings, use 4 extra-large skillets.
                                          • Add broccoli and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until broccoli turns bright green and becomes tender.
                                          • Remove broccoli from the pan, and set aside.
                                          • Place tofu and sauce in skillet on medium–high heat and cook for 10 minutes on each side or until browned, turn gently.
                                          • Gently stir in broccoli and continue cooking.
                                            Critical Control Point: Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • Remove from heat, add sesame seeds, and gently stir.
                                          • Serve 1 cup (8 oz ladle).
