Ingredients

• 14 oz extra-firm tofu
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 cup snap peas
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onion

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut it into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the broccoli into small florets, slice the carrots into thin rounds, and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Trim the snap peas if needed.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the green onions and set aside for garnish.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Return the tofu to the skillet and pour the stir-fry sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat all ingredients in the sauce. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Step 10

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
