Ingredients

• 16 oz extra-firm tofu
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cup sugar snap peas
• 3 green onion, sliced thin
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it between kitchen towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 6

Cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb some of the flavors from the vegetables and sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the tofu and vegetables.

Step 8

Serve the stir-fried tofu and vegetables hot as a main dish or alongside cooked rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal.
