Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

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

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Slice the mushrooms, julienne the carrot, and dice the green bell pepper. Mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions, keeping the green tops separate.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced mushrooms, carrots, and green bell pepper to the pot. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 5

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil.

  4. 6

    Add Tofu and Seasonings

    Once boiling, gently add the cubed tofu to the pot. Stir in soy sauce, Sriracha, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 7

    Finish with Green Onions

    Before serving, stir in the chopped green onions (saving some green tops for garnish) and adjust seasoning if necessary.
