Ingredients

• 14 ounces extra firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large, sliced thinly carrot
• 1 medium, sliced bell pepper
• 1 cup snow peas
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon, freshly grated ginger
• 2 sliced scallions
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the block of tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and cornstarch. Whisk together to form a marinade.

Step 4

Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, tossing gently to ensure each piece is well-coated. Let the tofu marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: slice the carrot, bell pepper, and scallions, and measure out the broccoli florets and snow peas.

Step 6

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Add the marinated tofu in a single layer. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and slightly crispy on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 8

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 9

Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers, stir-frying for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 10

Add the snow peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 11

In a small bowl, mix together remaining soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil, and sriracha if using.

Step 12

Return the tofu to the skillet, gently tossing it with the vegetables.

Step 13

Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Step 14

Season with black pepper to taste, and sprinkle with sliced scallions before serving.

Step 15

Serve hot, alongside steamed rice or noodles as desired.
