Ingredients

• 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Grated ginger
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 sliced Scallions
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and wrap it in paper towels. Set aside with a heavy object on top to press and drain excess moisture for about 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the tofu is pressing, prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, thinly slice the carrot, and de-string the snow peas if necessary.

Step 3

Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, toss the tofu cubes with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Return the tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Add the sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Toss everything to combine, remove from heat, and serve warm over cooked rice or noodles if desired.
