Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, sliced carrot, and snap peas to the pan.
Step 6
Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.

Return the tofu to the pan. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything well to combine.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
