Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot
- 2 stalks green onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 4 cups cooked rice
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and cornstarch. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat evenly. Allow it to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Slice the red bell pepper into strips, chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, and thinly slice the carrot. Dice the green onions, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and coat all ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the stir fry with sesame seeds and the diced green onions before serving.
Serve hot over cooked rice and enjoy!
