Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz extra-firm tofu
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 3 green onion, sliced thin
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it between kitchen towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown on all sides. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked tofu to the skillet. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb some of the flavors from the vegetables and sauce.
Sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the tofu and vegetables.
Serve the stir-fried tofu and vegetables hot as a main dish or alongside cooked rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal.
