Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 carrot
• 2 stalks green onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 4 cups cooked rice

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and cornstarch. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat evenly. Allow it to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 3

Slice the red bell pepper into strips, chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, and thinly slice the carrot. Dice the green onions, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Step 8

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the stir fry with sesame seeds and the diced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot over cooked rice and enjoy!
