Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cup snow peas
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp water
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish
• 2 cups cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sriracha, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and water to make the sauce.

Step 7

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables, tossing to coat everything evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Garnish the stir fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles if desired.
