• 3 tbsp cooking oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch ginger, sliced
• 1 medium carrot, sliced
• 100 g broccoli florets
• 100 g shiitake mushrooms, sliced

• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp green onions, chopped

• 0.5 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the soft tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Gently add the tofu cubes to the pan and fry until golden on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the tofu from the pan and drain on paper towels.

Step 4

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrot and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add broccoli florets, sliced shiitake mushrooms, and snow peas. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

Step 8

Add light soy sauce and oyster mushroom sauce to the broth and stir to combine.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the boiling broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Return the fried tofu cubes to the pan and coat them with the sauce.

Step 11

Add salt and white pepper to taste.

Step 12

Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.

Step 13
