Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object on top and press for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss in a bowl with cornstarch, ensuring it's well coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the tofu to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing everything to combine well and heat through, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped scallions and sesame seeds over the stir-fry. Toss briefly to mix.
Serve hot, either on its own or over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
