• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 scallions

Directions

Step 1

Drain and press tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Slice red bell pepper into thin strips, cut carrots into thin matchsticks, and mince garlic and ginger.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

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

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Step 8

Return the tofu to the skillet with the vegetables, pour the sauce over, and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 9

Serve the stir-fry over cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
