Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 14 ounces firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
- 1 bell pepper (sliced)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 scallions (sliced for garnish)
- 2 cups white or jasmine rice (cooked, for serving)
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by placing it between plates and weighing it down with a heavy object for 15 minutes, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove and set 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 shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the shrimp and tofu to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve the stir-fry hot over a bed of cooked white or jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced scallions.
