Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 400 grams firm tofu
- 1 red bell pepper
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 scallions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and chop them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse them thoroughly and set aside.
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Dice the red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into small florets.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. Thinly slice the scallions.
In a large pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the potato cubes and stir fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until they start to turn golden and are soft when poked with a fork.
Push the potatoes to the side of the pan. Add the tofu cubes to the pan and cook until lightly golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the pan, and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, red chili flakes, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Continue to stir fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle the sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the stir fry just before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your high-protein simple potato stir fry!
