Ingredients

• 14 ounces extra firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 large garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

While the tofu is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and thinly slice the carrot. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-5 minutes, or until just tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the browned tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and stir well to combine.

Step 7

Sprinkle with black pepper and toss the stir-fry until everything is evenly coated and heated through, about 2 more minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and the green parts of the green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve the stir-fried tofu warm, either alone or over a bed of brown rice or quinoa for a more filling meal.
