Ingredients

• 14 oz extra firm tofu
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pieces red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 pieces carrot, julienned
• 2 pieces green onions, sliced
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce

Directions

Step 1

Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into cubes.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to create a marinade. Add the tofu cubes and gently toss to coat them in the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced green onions, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Return the tofu to the skillet. Add the hoisin sauce and gently toss everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir fry and give a final toss.

Step 8

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy your flavorful stir-fried tofu and vegetables.
