Ingredients
- 400 grams extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 100 grams snow peas, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 stalks scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Press the tofu to remove excess water. This can be done by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing a heavy object on top for 10-15 minutes.
Step 2
Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch to coat them evenly.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the tofu cubes. Cook them for about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.
Step 5
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, carrot, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 7
Return the crispy tofu to the pan. Add the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir everything together to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Sprinkle the dish with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Step 9
Serve the stir fry hot, either on its own or over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa.
