Ingredients
- 14 ounces Tofu, firm
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 4 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Press the tofu for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
Place the tofu cubes in a bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until crispy and golden brown all over. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
In the same pan, add garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and water to the pan. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6
Return the tofu to the pan and gently toss to coat with the sauce.
Step 7
Add green onions, broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 8
Drizzle with sesame oil, stir gently, and remove from heat.
Step 9
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve the stir fry hot, either on its own or over rice or noodles.
