Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g tofu (firm, cubed)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
- 200 g broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot (julienned)
- 150 g snow peas
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
Toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch to coat them evenly and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tofu to the wok and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove tofu from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok, then sauté the garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, carrot, and snow peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sriracha sauce, and water.
Return the tofu to the wok and pour the sauce over the vegetables and tofu. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
