Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup snow peas
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice the block of tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and gently toss to coat the tofu evenly. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to begin softening the vegetables.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper and snow peas. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until all vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the stir fry warm over steamed rice or cooked noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
