Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess water by placing it in a clean kitchen towel under a heavy object for 10 minutes.
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the tofu cubes and gently toss them to coat. Marinate for 5-10 minutes.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring quickly to aromatize without burning, about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are bright and just tender.
Return the tofu to the skillet and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce over the mixture. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
