Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra firm tofu
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pieces red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 pieces carrot, julienned
- 2 pieces green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
Instructions
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into cubes.
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to create a marinade. Add the tofu cubes and gently toss to coat them in the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced green onions, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
Return the tofu to the skillet. Add the hoisin sauce and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir fry and give a final toss.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy your flavorful stir-fried tofu and vegetables.
