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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss in a bowl with cornstarch, ensuring it's well coated.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped scallions and sesame seeds over the stir-fry. Toss briefly to mix.

Step 8

Serve hot, either on its own or over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
