Ingredients

• 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large carrot
• 1 cup snow peas
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 green onions

Directions

Step 1

Drain and press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the tofu cubes and toss gently to coat. Set aside to marinate.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the marinated tofu to the skillet and stir-fry for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, sliced carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet. Drizzle with sesame oil and toss everything together to combine well.

Step 9

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the stir-fry.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving hot.
