Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp dry sherry
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, minced
• 8 oz snow peas, trimmed
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
• 2 scallions, sliced (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture: Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel, place a heavy object on top, and let it press for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss lightly with the cornstarch to coat evenly. This will help it crisp up while cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dry sherry, and sesame oil. Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and lightly coat the ingredients.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with sliced scallions if desired.
