Ingredients

• 400 grams firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Start by pressing the tofu: Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place it under a heavy pan or a tofu press. Leave it for about 15 minutes to drain excess moisture.

Step 2

Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add tofu cubes to the skillet and fry until golden brown and slightly crisp on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 7

Return the tofu to the skillet. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, stirring to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.

Step 10

Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious low-carb tofu stir fry!
