Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Start by pressing the tofu: Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place it under a heavy pan or a tofu press. Leave it for about 15 minutes to drain excess moisture.
Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add tofu cubes to the skillet and fry until golden brown and slightly crisp on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the tofu to the skillet. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious low-carb tofu stir fry!
