Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 14 ounces firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
• 1 bell pepper (sliced)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 carrot (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 scallions (sliced for garnish)
• 2 cups white or jasmine rice (cooked, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by placing it between plates and weighing it down with a heavy object for 15 minutes, then cut into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the shrimp and tofu to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Serve the stir-fry hot over a bed of cooked white or jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced scallions.
