Ingredients

• 400 g Firm tofu
• 1 cup Edamame (shelled, cooked)
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce (low sodium, gluten-free if needed)
• 1 tbsp Ginger (grated)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 2 Green onions (sliced)
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 10 minutes. Once pressed, cut it into small cubes.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, and water to create a light sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: slice the carrot into thin matchsticks, cut the bell pepper into strips, and trim the ends of the snow peas.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Toss in the broccoli florets, carrot matchsticks, bell pepper strips, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Add the cooked tofu and shelled edamame to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
