Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 4 green onions, sliced into 2-inch segments
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated. This will help them crisp up when cooked.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Add the sugar snap peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and add the sliced green onions. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, toasted sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the stir-fry and toss everything together until well coated.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy your Stir Fried Tofu with Mushrooms, Sugar Snap Peas, and Green Onion!
