Press the tofu for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Place the tofu cubes in a bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until crispy and golden brown all over. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add garlic and ginger and sautΓ© for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and water to the pan. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the tofu to the pan and gently toss to coat with the sauce.
Add green onions, broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Drizzle with sesame oil, stir gently, and remove from heat.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve the stir fry hot, either on its own or over rice or noodles.
