Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces extra firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 large garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. 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 the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
While the tofu is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and thinly slice the carrot. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-5 minutes, or until just tender-crisp.
Return the browned tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and stir well to combine.
Sprinkle with black pepper and toss the stir-fry until everything is evenly coated and heated through, about 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and the green parts of the green onions before serving.
Serve the stir-fried tofu warm, either alone or over a bed of brown rice or quinoa for a more filling meal.
